I am saying it is a thing that exists and it is completely valid to mention it, talk about or complain about it. I am saying the trying to pretend it does not exist or is not something that affects people is just ... lying to yourself and others.

Yes, I agree. I feel there are comments here from people saying that Japan is great and no problem just because they feel comfortable there but the deep reality is more like your comments IMHO.

Some people might be comfortable like that and it is ok, but that is not what I would call being integrated. I would call it being tolerated.
