I'm sorry but as an International flight attendant I see racism everywhere including my beloved Japan. Not only that I'm mixed with Japanese and everything else you can think of in Europe. From my time in America I have seen racism on every side by every person it does not matter their color. But I have also seen a lot other people who are not racist. It depends on the individual and the amount of arrogance and lack of culture they have. If more people went and experienced other cultures and took time to learn about other people of different race, religion, ect. We would not have this issue. It is not only in America, but also in Europe, Japan and other parts of Asia racism is done by an individuals not but a minority of a race, religion. Take a look at all the other amazing people in this world who have learned not to hate a person because of where they come from but because of their attitude they put towards life and other people. Anyways... I this is just my opinion people need to stop being arrogant and blaming things on the entire group of people and blame it on the individual who is showing the unjust.

I have traveled alone to many places. I have to say i felt the safest in Japan, But i also used common sense and never went down any dark alley or went to any places that gave me a bad feeling. Honestly It just requires common sense and street smarts. Along with letting someone know you where you are heading to during that trip and where they can reach you at. This might be over the top but I also put a tracking device on my phone. It does work so at least if anything did happen it records on my moms computer where i was 5 min ago from the time i stopped at that place. Agree with what Nicky Washida said above.

Racism and hipocrasy...... alive and well in the good'ole US of A.

There is Racism everywhere in this world...it's sad and wish human kind will get over their racism and prejudice towards people not like themselves...it's not just the USA.

I have lived all over the world and had received prejudice just because I'am an American. But I myself am not racist or prejudice. I judge a person by their attitude towards me. It's sad with our justice system. There are people who are innocent people getting killed by the death penalty and others who murder who get away with it and brag about it (OJ Simpson) later on then they can not get convicted again because of double jeopardy. Anyways when it comes to this situation we will never know what really happened it's a truly sad story for all those involved.

There is another situation going on in WA right now where this police man killed a native american. The are going to punish the police man because he shot the guy out of false pretenses. What will happen to him I'm not sure, but I hope justice will do good this time around. There are some not all police man that have to high of a power trip its sad.
