We're in an international community now, thanks to the media and the Internet. I think it's silly to say, "This is an American issue, and therefore it stops mattering outside of America." |
I honestly dodn't think minds go any further thatn a red Peter Pan are a Walt Disney attraction.
As far as racism goes, I am sure Japan would be on the side of the natives, afterall, America is not the most popular place in Japan.
