If a black girl goes Japan will japanese people stare in weardness, what will there reaction be?

Question:

I would love to go japan to go school or just to visit?
But im thinking.
If i do take school there or what ever will people be racist or just be freaked out and kinda not talk to me??
Or just be normal about it?

Answer:

I had two female African American female friends (they are sisters) visit Japan for almost two weeks, they had a fantastic time and want to come back ASAP.

I knew another lady from Canada who was working in an office here on a working holiday visa, never heard any complaints from her.

People in Japan will not kill you for being black, you won't be beat up for being black, service will be provided when needed, you won't be required to sit at the back of the bus, or use the "colored only" toilets...

There are crazies in every country of the world, these people are generally a small minority that keep the fires burning. I cannot guarantee that there might be a silly person out there that might say something, but for the most part, I know people who have had wonderful times in Japan and they are black females. It's the same thing, where I don't think you can guarantee that a Japanese person coming to America will not face racism. For the most part, most of the time, people come and have an enjoyable trip without problems.

They aren't going to "Freak out" I mean what do you mean? You aren't the first black person to ever step foot in Japan.

Act respectful, don't be a fool in public and most people will treat you the same.

Not true, they can:
1. Attend a university that teaches in English (Eg. Temple University Japan, half the students there are Japanese but instruction is done in English), other universities have classes that are for international students, exchange students etc, International Christian University (ICU) for example and Keio University has an international program for speakers of English.

2. There are graduate programs that are also taught in English in Japan.

3. They attend as a student at a Japanese language school.
