Black Americans are welcomed in Japan as something like "b-list celebrities" as was said before. I'm not exactly sure why, my best guess would be that they see us on TV rapping and playing sports, and through that exposure have developed some sort of superficial admiration. However, Blacks from Africa who immigrated to Japan are looked upon negatively, and given the same racist treatment that our people are sure to find almost anywhere we go.

And your more likely to here me blasting Weezer than rap. Maybe they dont care about that and I'll still be able to get into the hottest clubs. Hopefully I wont have to dance, which I can't.

I was blasting Boy Goeorge's 'Chameleon'(Im not gay, just a child of 80's music) during 80's day on some radio station while driving in Newark (true story). I guess a Black Card Union representative was in the neighborhood and sent me a letter requesting I send them back my card. Im appealing the process.
<-- Korean. From my experience, black people were pretty chill in general and had nothing against me due to my Korean background. When I was in college, I had a few black friends including this one girl I dated for a while. She was a dancer... nice figure and cute face. Though she had a hot temper at times, it was understandable coming from hot-tempered Korean culture. Her mom used to treat me real nice whenever I visited though her younger brother was a little butthole until I kicked his ass on Tekken Tag. When we used to go out, we sometimes went to a club that was nearly all black. I wasn't particularly being stared at like "Look at that Asian boy" but many girls I got to know wanted to dance with me and I freaked them all. Freak-dance was a big thing back in the days. My girl wasn't jealous at all but was cheering me as I freakin represented my ethnicity in the club. Even brothers whose girl got freaked by me was cool with me that night. I decided to take off my Johnny Blaze hat after couple of dates we went on together just because I didn't feel like I needed that hat to fit in. Everything was cool and when I think about it now it was a good memory in my life. Damn.. as I was makin out with her in my car I was thinking, "Damn..black girls got some soft skin..." I've also touched white girls' but theirs weren't as soft.
