Racial barriers?. Like people bringing you the English menu instead of the japanese one? Or strangers ignoring you and only talking to the japanese people who are with you because they're too shy to talk to a foreigner?
I seriously doubt she's faced any racial barriers worth crying over.
Maybe if youre Chinese or Korean but if youre a White woman in Japan youre fucking set for life, especially if youre blonde.
People will be so excited to talk to you and everyone will want to be your friend.
You will get picked for everything because youre so exotic, you can even have a huge ugly nose and win miss Japan.
When I was in Japan a few months ago, I encountered exactly one time where the club was Japanese only. It's not a big deal at all. The bouncer was very polite about it in the typical Japanese way. So I went to next door, because Tokyo has thousands of bars and clubs and its only a tiny fraction that's Japanese only. It's only a big deal if you make it a big deal.
There's different levels of racism and it can be very palatable if politeness is enforced.
The whole "being denied rent/charged extra" shit in Japan is unfair imo, but shit like that having a few spaces reserved for natural born, genetically Japanese doesn't really bother me, especially if they're the typical Japan-polite about it.
I would expect no less in any other country I visited as well. Citizens have a right to preserve purity of their nation and culture. If that means reserving some things for only themselves, I get it.
Being denied apartment rental or charged extra is common sense, you're a foreigner, they don't know you, your ability to stay in Japan and make enough to pay rent long term is dubious, they can't track you down and collect back rent /damages if you just decided to get out of the country
It's almost too perfect. You could have written this exact scenario as a joke. Even her quotes are word-for-word repackaged WhiteJapanese-replacement propaganda. It's like a Babylon Bee headline come true. These truly are the 🤡🌎 of times.

I was just about to write the same thing -- it's a deterrent for bad actors.
Also Be prepared to be asked if there’s weather in your country or if seasons exist outside Japan for the rest of your fucking life.
Odds are that she's the same ethnicity as the people making Japan do this.
It's almost funny how shameless this is. This lady isn't even average.
