This is one of those moments were I look at my dumb post, wonder what the fuck I was thinking, and apologize. I accept full responsibility for my dumb post and await more dumbs as punishment for it.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;42059447]My Japanese family lives in the area around Hiroshima[/QUOTE] then you shouldn't write something so wide spanning like 'they hate'. should be 'some small numbers of ignorant uneducated people hate'
Kinda feel sorry for the guy, but then again you can't go into a country with these expectations of stereotypes. Goes for all tourists.

imho if you want to visit japan you have to submerse yourself in their culture and language before they even want to look at you. if i was to go it would mostly be for the more rural side since there is plenty of scenery and culture.
We've kinda got the same attitude here towards foreigners too I suppose (specifically Asians.), maybe even worse.
Regarding weeaboos, I've always looked at it like this: Basing your view of Japan on anime would be like basing your view of America on action movies.

I had no idea!

I mean at least the fear of being infected by HIV is plausible because you actually can be.
[QUOTE=meppers;42058716]most Japanese people are xenophobic[/QUOTE] What are you talking about. I went to boarding school and met tons of japanese students, kids who were just coming to America for the first time in their lives, and out of all the ethnicitys they were by far the nicest and humble(white/american was actually the minority at my boarding school) The kids from Spain were probably the most xenophobic.

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;42059808]dumb media perpetuated myths is what he is talking about[/QUOTE] Saying all people in Japan are xenophobic assholes is like saying all people in the U.S. are gun-happy cowboys who want to play World Police. Sure, some vocal minorities and even some of the leadership may be that way in both examples, but the vast majority of the people aren't like that at all.
[QUOTE=Agoat;42058651]I'd totally hang out with those two comedians and really have no idea what they're saying but I think it'd be fun[/QUOTE] they'd just make fun of you at the expense of your own incompetence
[QUOTE=meppers;42058716]most Japanese people are xenophobic[/QUOTE] lol that's a overstatement.
I'd kill to visit Japan, but live there? I know I wouldn't be welcome in some places just visiting, but some people would full on hate me just for living there. Fuck that shit.

The white guy represents everything American's think the Japanese act like and the two Japanese guys represent what the Japanese are probably actually like...
