I have never had any problem to get integrated in Japan.
Some people are stupid, like everywhere, they protect their nationals, and I think it is NORMAL. I am French, and I believe France should do just that.
Been in Paris lately?

Again, always the same discussion.
The Germans use the term "nazis" to explain that they didn't do it themselves.
By the way, look at the East of Germany, and even at the West lately, the old German songs are coming out... and some nice flags too.
Now, from my experience, for a foreigner to be integrated in the Japanese society, it is far easier then in Korea or in China.
And you won't be cheated in Japan.
Koreans in Japan? Heard of Chongryon? Try Wikipedia.
Fortunatly they won't ever integrate these bastards!
I have nice korean friends in Japan, and they won't complain about integration. They chose to live in Tokyo, where the life is better anyway.
