How is it not discrimination?

the most case is at Hostess bar that is witten like that.

only sitting in the bar is ￥10.000 charge and they can not speak English at all.

i think it is kind of them.

good japanese speaker of the chinese and the Korean are not included.

If I were a master of hostess bar and i can not speak english at all,
I could not take care of them there and I could not say "please pay money" with out conversation service

Mmm then what do you call it when a "gaijin" that speaks Japanese is refused service.

To assume that "all foreigners" can not speak Japanese is not only discriminatory but also racist and to collectively refuse them all service is the same as well.

It is Ok to enter , however I would keep sign like that.
if they keep to complain about that , they are not a customer

[caster51]

there are many Restaurant　that　refuse customers without letter of introduction

OK next time you go to a foreign country I hope you come across a sign that has "No Japanese" allowed and see how it feels.

You know most people live here like to think that Japan isnt a third world country, but with discriminatory practices like these it is hard to think otherwise.

Japan is quite a different country in terms of racial prejudice.

For example, the US is a melting pot. It is a country where people from all around the world gather together.

However, Japan is quite different. They favour a particular races, esp white people from the US, Canada, and Australia.
They favour white Americans than Black Americans.
They favour white Americans than Asians such as Thais or Malaysians or Chineses.
That's why it is easy for Americans to enter in Japan while people from South East Asia or China or Africa have difficulty entering Japan.

Japanese people simply hate people with dark skin because Japanese people tend to regard people with dark skin as unclean.
That's plain racist in my opinion.

There are more South-East Asians than Caucasian people in Japan. Maybe it's not that difficult for them to enter Japan.
