Is that a token American? Not bad.

[2banana]

Isn’t OK to make fun of white people?

[Gene Eric]

Someone, please explain the ‘racism’.

[EEGator]

[BenLurkin]

I’m not offended.

There must be something wrong with me.

[Zhang Fei]

Some of our hypersensitive morons have obviously made their way to Japan.

[KarlInOhio]

One of them says: "Let's change the image of Japanese people." "Sure," replies the other, who is now wearing a blonde wig and an improbably long rubber nose.

That's it? I laughed when I read that and kept looking for the racist part. I was expecting some smelly gaijin comment.

[GraceG]

White westerners are often believed in Japan to have big noses, blue eyes and blonde hair, characteristics generally thought desirable among Japanese.

This whole sentence is hillarious!

[BitWielder1]

Looks British to me.

[nickcarraway]

I’m not offended.

[Vendome]

That’s actual funny.

I don’t see the problem and the majority of dissenters have Asian names.

It’s their hang up, not mine.

[EEGator]

If you’re a White male, then according to TV, you’re fat and stupid. Luckily you have a cool, Black, Rhodes Scholar friend to keep you hip. You also have a woman that is awesome at everything possible.

[autumnraine]

Looks like Bill Clinton with an appropriate pinochio nose.

[Dr. Ursus]

Ask grandpa if the American marine coming at him with a flamethrower looked like that.

[lee martell]

My guess is the dissenters most horrified and frantic with worry are aged 30 or less. They may have been brought up with full indoctrination on what is or is not politically correct. I, in turn do not get upset when schools have Gang Day and dress accordingly. It’s just for fun. We can still be light sometimes, I would hope.

[BenLurkin]

You also have a woman that is awesome at everything possible.

I wish.

[ZULU]

Poor Japanese. When they stereotype American blacks they get in trouble. When they stereotype American whites they get in trouble.

Maybe they should try American Indians next.

[Maceman]

The long tone and hairstyle leads me to believe it’s an MSM anchor.

[skeeter]

People find those different from them curious and sometimes funny looking. So what.
