“I have not been to Japan as yet, but I absolutely love the Japanese people and friendships that I have made and I am thinking of visiting Japan. The Japanese family (with two young children) I met here in London (England, UK) was very polite, sociable, and kind. My impression of many Japanese here was that some were possibly shyer to socialize than others. 

Discrimination exists everywhere, but I have read your examples of discrimination in Japan, and these types of discrimination do NOT happen in the UK.  We do have our forms of discrimination but unlike Japan we tend to discriminate against everyone – not just foreigners. 

The situation in Japan appears to be appalling and I urge the Japanese nation to address it! If you are part of the human civilization then address it "no matter" what is happening in other parts of the world.  My impression of today’s Japanese (in London) is that they are not so discriminative as perhaps in Japan (I have only noticed some discrimination by the Japanese when they are amongst the British at gatherings).   Most people in London are quite interested when they meet a foreigner including the Japanese. Japan has huge wealth of culture and character as seen by the west, and it is my heartfelt wish that the Japanese realize just how much they are admired by others. And I hope that the Japanese society realizes that you cannot measure discrimination, nor compare it, nor analyze it, with any discrimination in another person or another country or another society.  You must address the problem for yourselves and for your benefit in your country and abroad and the respect of your culture your nation and history.  You must try to bring this problem, this ugly smell of discrimination, down to a reasonable level, or to eliminate it altogether if possible.

If I were to come to Japan and experience such discrimination as you mention, then my feelings of Japan will change drastically.  Now that Japanese are exposing themselves more and more to other countries through tourism and business, they should realize that eventually people would realize this STRONG discrimination that is prevalent in Japan.  A new impression of Japan can occur overnight and it will stick in people’s minds! I don't want that to happen. It is best to do something now to address this matter.”
