Oh you're one of those by-the-book types.

Why is it not a mystery Eric? Just exactly what did young Japanese people
today do
personally to deserve that kind of racism and hatred?
Didn't Ernest teach you that you can't blame EVERYONE because SOME people
did something very bad? I wish you;d pay more attention to Ernest because I
happen
to think he's a very smart person.

What is the point of that remark? You don't see any anti-Korean sentiment
from Koreans
or anti-Chinese sentiment from Chinese either.
My point was that while you see tons of anti-Japanese sentiment from
Chinese, you do not see
much anti-Chinese sentiment from Japanese. Surely you caught that, right?

Do you think that the fact that Japan does have a problem with illegal
aliens, crime, gangs, etc
and that they happen to be mostly illegal Chinese has anything to do wit the
above?
Do you honestly believe that the police have no grounds at all, and that
they arbitrarily
picked on "chinese" out of pure racism and bigotry?

Come on Eric, the poster obviously didn't mean "everything" in a literal
sense.
It's silly to argue about that.

Do you speak Japanese Eric? The above is textbook material for a western
book on Japan.

Eric..in the US women HAVE been enamored with dying their hair "blonde".
Look at all the big time accresses of the 50s and 60s. Admittedly this was a
fad
which still exists today but to a much lesser degree. But to respond to the
poster
like they just made something crazy up is wrong.

Actually it is considered a problem by China. Didn't you see the photos of
Chinese
police in riot gear beating the living daylights out of anti-Japanese
Chinese soccer spectators?

Sounds like you're own opinion there Eric. Unless you are or have been a
Japanese politician.

Absolutely true.

So we agree on this.
