Re: Ichi I've heard this argument lots about racism in Japan. Japanese are not used to dealing with foreigners and, therefore, are excused for any racism.
I don't believe that, in this day and age, there is any good "excuse" for racism. I will say that "Japanese racism" seems based more in ignorance than the racism I have experienced in the west, which usually seems based more in hate. Whether that comes from lack of exposure to foreign people or simply terrible images portrayed on TV (haven't all Americans in Japan been asked whether or not they own a gun...or just me?) is debatable. But neither is better than the other, and experiencing either one sucks.
