And you are  a racist, as you have probably never been to any western nation for 
very long besides america.
Not only that, but you use the term "west" to mean WHITE NATIONS in general.  
Notice how the definiton includes Australia and canada, but not indonesia or 
mexico which are on the same continent?



Racist white supremacist ERIC cant muster the guts to directly say "Japan is 
30-50 years behind WHITE NATIONS in gender equality"


If of course, that is what you meant to say, than i apologize.  You sick banana
