I wouldn't switch my stance because a few silly people didn't do the right thing. This approach will clearly not solve anything. To intiate change, the subject you are trying to change has to want to change. Stirring up trouble just makes the Japanese angry and makes them think 'damn gaijin getting involved in our matters.'

Unfortunately Misa, there are a lot of people who openly express superiority, and even racism, mainly in Andipode. Ronin here for example have already and decidedly expressed that his moral value is higher than people in Taichi's, and indirectly mine. There was a TV show that mocked Japanese people walking on the street about whaling in Australia. I don't know how that kind of racism is allowed on TV in 21st century. I'm not so devoted to whales in the first place. Like most people, I feel they are smart and gorgeous, and I feel it is bad taste to eat them. But human culture and racism sure are more important to me than whales and dolphins. Especially when it comes to my own race. And to be honest, after seeing remarks like "Whale killing Japs!" or an extremely one sided Japan bashing show, I feel like starting to eat it just to bug them.
