This shows what it looks like in other countries.

Yeah here's a very detailed report on what's been going on written by a friend of mine.

That said: is racism a bigger problem in Japan than e.g. in the United States? Oh, yes. Unquestionably.

This is totally ridiculous. I lived in Japan for a year and as a white male, it was the first time I experienced being on the receiving end of racism. It sucked, but was a good lesson into how it feels.

That said, I'm pretty sure minorities in America have to deal with the same experience on a daily basis often with far more tragic results: http://www.vox.com/michael-brown-shooting-ferguson-mo/2014/8...

Pretty sure it's just a way for them to get a link.

I can provide some examples if people would like.

Not sure which London you've been living in (or visiting) but I would say there are many more choices than the three you outline above. I know many people here who work in startups/online media/web dev etc.

The one thing I will agree with is that it's not cheap. I think it is fair to say London is probably 3X more expensive than Berlin.
