TofuUnion,
Thank you for the hilarious links to the “Koko ga Hen …” videos! I have to go look up an episode about Americans now,
That program was funny in SO many ways.
I always try to figure out people’s origins from their accents, and it was really interesting to hear them on this program. The accents were really clear in many cases. The fellow from Penan (?) at the end of the second part very obviously learned his Japanese from a girl, ne?
This also reminds me of the “Welcome to Japan” thread a while back. The “good” foreigners versus the “bad” Chinese.
The Chinese situation in Japan seems a mirror of the Mexican situation in America.
This link really made my day. Thanks!
so just put aside all that delicate “flower blossom stereotype” of the japanese woman..this is really what it’s all about. (Gentlemen please take note).

well, the way I see it (glub!glub!) japanese women have a hell of a lot to complain about, so they must vent their anger..as they wish
