White people brought and taught our Kobe type people the worst and the
ugliest Western practice that discriminate and prejudice those people
of traditional old castle towns or traditional old parts of towns, and
adore those pseudo-Westernized region like Kobe or suburbs. Our Kobe
type pseudo-Westerners, especially those of Hankyu Kobe line regions
mimiced White people and are extremely despising those people in the
downtown region of Osaka.

Those Canadian kind of White people residing in the upper regions
beyond the Hankyu line even discriminate and look down on those
gaijins hung around Motomachi, the older downtown region of Kobe, like
calling the area "Dutch Town".
