>Japan also treats non Japanese people differently. Nobody says anything bad about Japan.

What? I see claims of Japanese racism everywhere on the internet. A load of people seem to think it's one of the most racist countries on earth.

Yet in my 5 years here, and as someone visibly foreign, I've never been treated differently from a local. If anything, being treated completely normally put a lot of pressure on me early on since the only thing holding me back was my own lack of language ability.
