I work at a Start up in Japan with about 10 people, we have:
1 Japanese, 1 Portuguese, 1 Brazilian, 1 Filipino, 1 Canadian, 1 Australian, 1 German, 3 Americans (although 2 of them have been in Japan for a really long time).
1 Female 9 Male
2 Asian, 1 Latin American, 7 White.
Although its very fun to have so many different cultures together and an immense learning opportunity, I subscribe to the view of getting people based on skill only.
We'll probably be on-boarding Japanese for the next 2 hires since, well, we're in Japan and its a tricky place to do business with big, old Japanese companies.
