Discrimination in Japan

In the article, "Which minority groups face the worst discrimination in Japan?” ,which is written by Shaun McKenn, six people from all over the world said their thought of discrimination in Japan. Some said foreigners like Chinese, Korean, or black people are discriminated in Japan, and some said about handicapped people or burakumin who are descendants of a feudal outcast class are discriminated.

To the article above, Mike Dewood write a response, "Ebb and flow of discrimination". As you can see in this title, he said that in some parts in Japan, the discrimination has been decreasing. However in other parts, it doesn’t. He has been living in Japan, and by his experience in Nagano, he said he was hit by a rock by the children, spitted in his face by senior, or had a note which said "foreigners go home". He said that not all foreigners are living in dishonor, but some having this kind of trouble when they come to Japan.

When I read the first article, I notice that all foreigner insist that foreigner in Japan are most discriminated. However, no one who is Japanese (I guess that from their family name) insist about that. We can think of some reason: Japanese don't want to admit that they are discriminating, they don't think that it is not so much a problem compare to other problem, or just didn't notice. Whichever the reason is, it is true that there are some differences of thinking between foreigners and Japanese.
