I was really liking the whole thing until he added the disclaimer at the end. What a cop-out. :ohwell:

So, he's saying that basically, most Japanese think Americans are sloppy white demons? Well, I'm just assuming that from the text book and the way he describes the Japanese frowning upon sloppiness.

so the person is wrong but it's all cool cause it is a rant, how simple for the simple

I know a lot of kids who think they know Japanese because they watch anime and go to sushi bars. These kids....they come from my Japanese Pop Culture class. Man, that class is a nerd-fest, minus the actual Japanese girls.

And yeah, Japanese is f'n hard. I've been trying to take classes for a while. I'm hoping in the fall I can take Elementary Japanese I. I'm tired to learning on my own. I don't even know what I'm going to do with the language. I just feel that I should learn it since I'm so into their culture.

....what the hell do you do with a Japanese major? Get "asian eye" surgery and say "desu" a lot?

Good idea, since any sort of self learning can't compare to taking a class taught by a native speaker. In my experience, self learning didn't work out too well until I was familiar with core concepts like grammar, sentence structure, and kana, and it's a lot more effective to learn those by taking classes.

Heh, a dirty line from that article that I will put in spoiler tags so the little ones don't get disturbed. That is just like the English shirts that sometimes are found in Japan. Have you guys been to engrish.com? It is priceless.
