Well, well. Tony and Saori are friends of mine; I'll have to see it.

I'm 80:20  about Debito.  80% of the time I think he's making a fool
of himself, but 20% of the time I think he's saying and doing
things that I wish more gaigins would say and do. Often we bend
over backwards to accept and defend blatantly xenophobic
actions in the interest of having a quiet life and not making
a fuss.
