There are quite a few other non-Japanese on TV here who are not treated like novelties or idiots- there is an Egyptian woman called Fifi who speaks fluent Japanese and was on a morning news show for a while, an American professor of Japanese at Tokyo University who was beating the Japanese people at advanced kanji problems in a quiz show and a number of others.
A smart person would not eat a plant that he didn't know what it was. He probably does put on an act. Anyway he sure speaks Japanese a lot better than I ever could.
