I really enjoy these video posts on everything Japanese.
It's fun learning more about their culture and views, especially from the people themselves. Love the sense of humor too!

Thanks for posting these.

"I know. I'm sorry. My own people, most of them, are honestly convinced that the prejudices of
their native village were ordained by the Almighty . I wish it were different."
"You need not be ashamed. Believe me, sir, that is the one conviction which is shared by all races
everywhere. . . the only thing we all have in common. I do not except my own race. If you knew
languages. . . All languages carry in them a portrait of their users and the idioms of every
language say over and over again,'He is a stranger and therefore a barbarian.'"

I take great exception to the assumption you find on the Left that only white English speaking people can be racist.
