Well, you can start not reading an article with AKB48 in the title. ;-)

Hotaru no Hikaru was a wonderful drama. The protagonist, the picture that illustrate the article, is painted in a very positive way. No discrimination here.

Call it social prejudice, or plain stupidity.... but certainly is it NOT racism.

Baye, you don't have to go to Japan to see that kind of behavior. You can see it everywhere. In Japan, in Europe, in South America, and even in the US. Many people see a black guy or a mexican, varies from region to region, and tries to get away as far as of them possible. But racism has anything to do with it. The reason is far simpler. There is a strong association of certain social group and criminal acts. That notion doesn't have to be true. Self preservation is instinctive. Even I, in a dark alley, would be afraid of you. And believe me, I'm not racist. Far from it.

ThatBlackGuy: "Is there a difference between racism and behaving irrationally fearful in someone's presence based on their skin color and the ignorant notions you have in your head that you associate with that skin color?"
Yes, it is. A really big one. It's a shame you can't see the difference.
