"One of the most frustrating parts about living in Japan was when I
would go out to dinner with my husband. No, it wasn’t because I wasn’t
able to read the menu or because I don’t like Japanese food – it was
because more often than not, the server wouldn’t speak to me."

This particular prejudice seems to be less common now than it was, but
it definitely still exists.
