You're using this reference to laws as a dodge, Earlier you were implying that the Japanese were somehow more tolerant of foreigners than Americans. Nothing could be further from the truth. Japanese society is inherently racist. So is Korean society for that matter.

No, I was simply stating that in the years I lived in Japan and spoke English amongst other foreigners in public, no one ever asked/told me to speak Japanese. That's all.
