I dont condone racism myself, but in this business, I dont think this is a good foundation for equal rights if that is what you believe in. If you think equal rights to having access to sex services is a cause worth fighting for, then hey, you go ahead and march on the streets while the rest of the world laughs at us. If you want to be the poster boy for equal access to sexual services, none of us are going to stop you.
But in many instances, a good number of us get in because we show the clerks that we speak Japanese, we understand the rules, and demonstrate understanding of the culture and Tokyo street smarts. However, it all comes down to the girl herself if she wants to take you. I have many instances where places are willing to take me as a customer, but could not provide me a girl regardless of my ability because she just didn't feel comfortable taking a foreign customer. Thankfully in places where I do have established reputations like at Happy Berry, Pururungang, and Tokyo Delivery Health, the front desk guys there are willing to vouch for me to girls unexperienced with foreigners saying I speak (as well as read and write) Japanese and that I have been excellent to the other girls and it has always worked for me, we end up having a good time, and they are willing to take me as a customer again.
Are you sure you want to use the law to force a girl to take you as a customer? You think her privacy and safety override your "rights" to use her services? Granted anything can go wrong with a Japanese customer as well but the girl still has the choice to take whoever she wants as her customer whether native or foreigner as some girls have shared with me.
I do agree that this "Japanese Only" at these services is racist, but ultimately, I see using sexual services as a privilege and not a right which is why I have little to no issue with it compared to lets say being denied service at a restaurant (which I have read on the internet but who knows, maybe the food sucks anyway). It is my money and my time I am spending and if they don't want it, fine, I can find some other place and I have found plenty of nice places where I have met some great girls and have been able to bang my favorite porn stars. Maybe some of these "Japanese only" places are not worth it compared to foreign friendlier places I have used, I don't know. But once again, if you think this is a foundational human right that relates to foreign residents ultimately getting elected to office or whatever, then hey, if that is what you believe in, all the power to you. Yes, racism exists in other aspects of Japan but I will fight when I think it is worth the fight. If I get denied service at a Gusto or at a McDonalds or get refused to use the train because of my ethnicity, then I will march the streets and if things get worse, go all Malcolm X on this country.
There is a JK thread right now that perfectly states why stores and girls dont take foreign customers and it has very little to do with racism/xenophobia as it is mostly communication issues are the foundation for not taking foreigners and my gymmate who runs a delivery health service says the same as well (he has offered me but I chose not to use it to protect my privacy from my other friends at the gym and some people there are my neighbors and co-workers). As I said before, growing up in border states such as Arizona and California where they have to pay for illegal immigration with no assistance from the federal government (and a lot of border towns and counties went bankrupt over the summer over the illegal immigration problem), I have a lot of sympathy over this and has nothing to do with hating Mexicans. I have nothing against people immigrating, just do it by following the law and learn the language. My mother and her side of the family have been trying to get her relatives from the Philippines to come over legally since the 80s and it took them nearly 30 years to get them processed and it pisses me off that seeing people who come in illegally get all the special treatment.
SIDE NOTE: I am under the impression this thread is about "Japanese Only" in context to sexual services, if we are going to have a general thread about racism in Japan as a whole, I think that deserves a separate thread altogether
