A statement so strong shouldn't simply be standing on it's own either without any proper reason for it. At least the other posters try to back up their claims of racism etc, and may well be right.

Unlike the other posters, I have been living in Japan for 5 decades since birth. Try naming a member that even comes close in terms of first-hand experience. What other qualifications do I need in judging how accurate a statement about this country or its people is? My mind knows it before I even start thinking.
I'm already used to hearing many of the items on your list because that's what I hear male Caucasians and other non-Japanese persons say on the train and at eateries on a daily basis. They are somehow foolish enough to think I wouldn't know any English just because I don't look like I do. So I get to hear lots.
I just don't want you to be one of those complainers because as of now I actually have no negative feelings about you like I do with some others here.
