to say a couple of words about ここは変だよ、日本人。 when the show started it contained a lot less discussion and more questions or statements made by well-behaved foreigners. rather interesting to be honest.
after a couple of shows, however, the show turned into what it became famous for, foreigners arguing among themselves. the show came to be more on the US, the middle east and africa than on japan. the prime example of this was the show on homosexuality when a gay man from the japanese side told a pakistani man "レベルが低い”, as a response to the man saying that he would rather his children die than see them become gay. the pakistani man then threaten the japanese man and konishikin who often took part in the show had to stop the pakistani man. i believe ramos, the football player, followed konishikin to do the same. in the same show an african man, i believe nigerian, said that his country had absolutely no gay ppl. (the mentioning of nationality has nothing to do with pointing out particular nations or nationalities as homophobic, but only to make it easier to see who did who during the "argument".)
all in all, a show with good potential, but unfortunately it took a rather nasty turn.
