Negative images of the USA in Japan


Some people also pointed out some negative stereotypes that
Japanese have. Of these, the only one that is common and
overemphasized in Japan is "all of the USA is unsafe
(crime-filled)". I try to correct this misconception at every
opportunity by pointing out that there are many safe towns in
the USA, like Bloomington, IN, where I live. I feel as safe
here as when I'm in Tokyo.
