i wanted to end a pretty trolly, flame thread on a happy/funny anecdote and you have to come in with your worthless 2 pesos.

so just for kicks.

1. you say "no doubt"
only a fool (and an arrogant one at that [oh the hypocracy] ) would be able to comment on an anecdote with "No Doubt"
you do not know the facts of the situation, therefore, ergo, there is doubt.
unless you were there yourself, you cannot comment on what people were thinking in an event you know nothing about.

2. you say "Gaijin"
gaijin is a sometimes offensive (depends on context, please dont debate) term used at white people, it may technically mean anyone foreign to japan but is pretty much used exclusively to describe white people, someone who is black will seldom be called gaijin.

as you yourself are not white, perhaps someone (and that'l be me) should point out that it is not your place to use words that can be used to describe someones race if you are not of that same race. (this includes but is not limited to the words honky, cracka and whitey)

thats why 50 gets away with saying Nger this Nger that, and chris martin from coldplay doesn't.
(this is international manners)

3. you asume they were laughing at my "ignorance of Japanese custom and courtesey"
I understand Japanese culture and custom a little bit more than you.
whats more i have an understanding of the 'deeper meaning' behind them which is always more important than the custom itself, and you would have trouble understanding from a website, which is (I assume) your only point of reference on japanese culture and custom.


4. ignorance in "normal manners"
so now you are bringing about a personal attack, which you cannot justify or validate. i know how to carry myself in realms of society (on an international level) that you don't even know exist. Boy.

5
the stereotype that we westerners have in Japan,
I dont know what kind of Pr*cks you hang out with,
but anyone who judges anything based on a "stereotype" is a person that is beneath me. will be treated as such, and deserve it.

In conclusion

shh

Your reaction delights me, especially since you consist of pulling the "child" card on me, which means nothing, in my eyes. Since, an adult should be able to use simple capital letters, no?

No wait, you're right, I'm a child. My opinion doesn't matter. Arrogance. Always a lovely trait to have.

1: The word "no doubt" is a simple saying. You don't need to write a paragraph, so that I can understand what it means. I know the meaning of "no doubt", and I don't require your expertise to understand it.

Thank you for wasting your time though

2: Gaijin isn't as offensive as you make it out to be. The word "Gaijin" is used more for "foreigners" than "white people". Don't take it too heart. It's been used against me many times. I didn't get offended, and nor should you make such a commotion out of it.

Get over it.

3: Ah, the ignorance. No, actually my "reference" for my knowledge on Japan, is going there countless times, and living under with a Japanese family for 2 weeks. To add, I have a friend who has come over from Japan, and who I talk to regularly.

This isn't a competition of "who knows Japanese culture more than the other." Since you might know a deal more than me. But, maybe not. Perhaps, you should stop being so ignorant, and understand that my age doesn't touch my wit, nor my knowledge.

I know a fair bit about culture. I don't need age to tell me about it. Perhaps you should stop using your age as a means to try and justify your knowledge?

4: Yet again, you misunderstand.

I was criticising the "normal manners" of the Gaijin stereotype. Not yours. I'm not out to vex or wrong you. I have better things to do with my time.

5: You obviously haven't lived in Japan for a good amount of time. We westerners aren't seen as the most intelligent of people in the world. We're viewed with a sort of wariness. If there is a crime, and a Gaijin was there, then he'd no doubt probably be one of the main suspects from the start until proven innocent. However, since the Japanese are known for their politeness, and their courtesy, it's not displayed into our faces.

Not everyone sees us like that, but then again, it wouldn't be a stereotype then, would it?

Then again. I'm just an ignorant little boy, who knows nothing of the way of the world. My opinion is invalid, in shadow of your awesome intelligence.
