1 in 168 or so. In a full 767 Jumbo Jet would only have two people who were not Japanese. The years I was living there, I think I looked it up at being around 25000 American residents. Meaning finding an American living in Japan is 1 every 4,800. So imagine walking around Comic-con and being one of the 30 Americans in attendance. Getting an idea for how damn rare you would feel living in Japan?

So Japanese being in to black? Statistically speaking, it's a slim chance anyone they'd ever meet romantically would be black. Which would make any non-Japanese person a "catch" almost to the point of being singled out and hunted down as a status symbol.
interesting logic.

There are not so many foreigners living in Japan when compared to the West, but in Tokyo I see foreigners of every type every time I step outside. I take it you didn't live in Tokyo? In the countryside foreigners are non-existent!

Being rare doesn't make you wanted though, you've gotta be good-looking too! I mean, have you seen the state of some of the Westerners that live here... I'm sure you were joking anyway :-)

It's a bit of a stereotype that Japanese girls who date foreigners are the ones who can't get Japanese guys. I'd say it's only 75% true though.
