OMG I'M THE MAN!!!!!!
Man am I proud at what I've started...
In any case, this thread has obviously gotten much more complex than the run of the mill hot deal. To squash the latter, inferior, angry Japanese vs. the Anandtech community thread, I will escape from work for a moment and kill it myself because yes, I am the man, I have always been the man, and I will forever continue to be EL HOMBRE... aka the man. And then we can focus on the cruddy deal at hand.
First off: I'm Asian so before you spit the white racist kkk crap bite me.
Japan is also the most technologically advanced country in the world in terms of small machinery(no pun intended). They're also known as being physically shorter than average Irish folk, for instance. These are facts. I mean lets face it. Japan is not exactly the NBA factory it once was, but we're all watching the games on our Sony, Panasonic, etc televisions, aren't we? Exactly. The only reason anyone would ever take offense to what I said is if they are so insanely self conscious as to first of all, come to the conclusion that shortness is a negative trait, and secondly, think the whole world must be a racist place that hates who they are. Ok, I can see the first point. Shortness? Not exactly on the Tall, Dark, and Handsome list. But are you really that vulnerable to take a one-liner and convert it into a racially motivated electronic lynching? Tell me to get out, get laid? Are you kidding me?
Right.
I have enough Japanese friends to not worry about being labelled a racist. I mean, what's not to love about me?
I find it interesting that so many people are sensitive to this issue. Are you Japanese?
If you are, answer me this:
If you're so sensitive to the issue of racism, what are you doing to fight racism in your own country?
Japan's government still won't recognize and officially apologize the use of comfort women despite hundreds of women who have come forward to protest their own mistreatment. (most of these women were under 18EDIT: at the time they were raped) Yet nothing is done b/c they're not Japanese. What're you doing? Non-Japanese cannot attend a Japanese University. Imagine that in America. But what're you doing? No foreigners can become Japanese citizens, even if they were born in Japan. What're you doing about that? There are few countries as ethnocentric as Japan.
I apologize only for a joke and forcing a few fools to cry.
It wasn't racist so drop it. if you have a problem with anything I've said, go to OFF Topic...
