A lot of people assume Japan has a lot of racism and discrimination because of the homogeneity.
Although the number of foreign residents is getting increasing and became more than doubled in the last 20 years and international marriages in the country have been rising, foreigners are still quite rare in Japan(aside from big cities).
As a Japanese myself, I'm not sure about that, so decided to ask foreigners in Japan, Tokyo.
Racism exist globally, but Japan is notable for its lack of dialogue about racism and the absence of meaningful change to protect people against discrimination.
And again, Japan sees itself as a homogenous nation. It has one of the least ethnically diverse populations in the world. So, I think it's can't be helped to get racism sadly. But, as foreigners are increasing in Japan, I'm sure it's getting less!

This is my third trip
Third trip
This is very impressive
That's great
I am not happy in Japan
There are many difficulties
First it's language
Ah language
It's difficult
Japanese people don't speak English
We do not speak Japanese
We do not know Japanese
That is having a conversation with Japanese people is very difficult
Are you feeling uneasy about something in Japan
It is not
Japan Is it not Japan
Not at all
Really It was very good
Is there anything in Japan
that makes you uneasy
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing at all Really
That's great
Oh my oh my
Was there a bar
There was a Golden Guy bar
A very small bar
They don't like Westerners
Really
Yes
We were walking
The bar was open
They said they didn't have a room
They said the Japanese wouldn 't
come in I felt a bit sad
That's right We did that What happened
They weren't really
kind to us They turned
their backs on us They didn't stand up
for us But I have
something to say to you
When the next generation
of children
came were away from Hiroshima were really sad because of what we
felt now we looked out the window
There was a basic item on the left
There was a small basket in front
There was a little girl
She might have been two or three years old She looked at us
We felt better
Because we had moved away
We felt that the next generation was coming and
we wanted to make a better
place for all of them
This is truly amazing
The people in Japan are very kind We
are all very good
friends It rained last
year Someone brought an umbrella for me
and my friend That was really wonderful
You make me think
of a foreigner
every day That's the only way
People see you as someone from
another dimension That's right
But it's okay that's all
There's nothing gross
in Japan Really almost
nothing Many years
have passed It was just
a little foolish thing
but almost
nothing I don 't have it For
example
I don't remember anything I
did something wrong
But there are almost none
Most people are very good
Very kind
Not like that now
Everyone is getting along very well
But people are helping a lot
More than me Almost
the same Definitely
I have been here for seven years
For a long time
Could you give me an example
When taking the train
If I sit next to a Japanese person
I go to sit next to them
Really
That much in Tokyo
But I used to live in
Kyoto Kyoto
No Everyone
gets along very well
Really Nice
There's no
direct But in terms of
service In
terms of service
When going to
a restaurant
A minor restaurant
It feels a
bit different for Japanese people
but I think it's
a little understandable What
is your favorite thing in Japan

Finding halal food can be difficult I see
