Ahh, I used to do volunteer work for some of the second hand charity stores here. Got asked so many times why I was there because "teenagers don't just volunteer, you must be on punishment for something." They didn't realise I jacked up teh costs on everything they bought though, so sucks to be them.
We've had people here get yelled at for being from other cultures but I don't hear much about Japanese people, or Chinese. I mostly see them furhter in the city though, near the Uni grounds.
