There's definitely xenophobia in Japan, and a lot of stereotyping, etc, and I'm not dismissing your experience, but: I've never been denied entry to a nightclub or any decent establishment (kyabakuras don't count). I've never noticed people crossing to the other side of the street because of me. > I just thanked my lucky stars that I wasn't Brazilian. I've heard that before but I've never experienced it. I'm Brazilian, but since I don't usually go around wearing Brazil's football jersey, I might as well be Indian to a Japanese passersby. When people learn I'm Brazilian, the reaction typically ranges from positive to neutral (even when discounting for the tatemae). I suppose things are different in areas with high concentration of Brazilians. But even in those places I'm pretty sure we aren't nearly as despised as certain 2 Asian nationalities, or even as much as American military. In any case, I've witnessed and experienced way more racism in my own country than in Japan.
