Any time there is a crime in a really rural area, they point black refuse to even entertain the possibiliy that it could have been committed by a Japanese person. It is true that crime in Japan is largely committed by the foreigners that come here, but its kinda shocking to see, even the kids straight away say "it must have been the Chinese people who were here recently".

For example, when a local girl went missing last year in a nearby rural town, all the foreigners in the area were called in and had their papers checked over and over, and all tourists were getting stopped on the street and interrogated there and then. They are xenophobic to an extreme level, just under the surface and the polite and mannerly facade there is a serious inbuilt superiority complex among a lot of them.
