Regarding this; I myself would never yell Banzai dropping into a pool, its clearly racist and have been tricked on to unknowning kids in the US. USA used to be very racist towards Japan and might still be I dont know.
But as we shall see this stuff always goes on a merry go round since Japanese people are perhaps known as one of the most racist peoples in the world, no doubt. Ive not personally been there, but I was a japanophile during my late teens early twenties, and several of my family and friends have been there and have experienced the Gaijin term etc. I know from uni and private studies that japans treatment and stance towards China is nothing to write home about either. Considering how long they refused to open themselves up to the rest of the world its not a suprise.

Yeah, I don't think most Americans know the origin though. Outside of countryside people, not much dislike for Japanese or Asians in general in US.

Japanese are racist, but not just that. It is more about coformity in general. That why suicide rate is so high, but also why crime is so low and why Japan catapulted from semi-industrial war shattered nation to world's second largest economy in just 20 years. Japan has a highly unique culture and intolerance is a key component of success. Paradoxically it also allows Japanese to be extraordinarily open to foreigners because the rules don't apply so well to them since they cannot be expected to understand everything. Many Japanese also have strong interest in foreign things, incorporating good bits and throwing away the rest ^^

Accurate. Some can certainly be thick, but almost never very long. Usually neither though.

I really hope I can go there one day and visit these interesting peoples myself. I have quite good knowledge on Japan, I even took private language classes back in the days because I was dreaming of moving there myself, I wanted to train Ninjutsu in the old country hehe. Over the years I lost some of my interest and respect for Japan but recently have become fascinated by them again, especially the Hikikomori situation as I have discovered that there are Hikikomori living right here in my town, I know these fellas but I have not talked or seen them for years. I guess theres alot of common ground between Norway and Japan, especially regarding the conformity.

My favorite music is always in 7/8 time signature, that certainly stems from japanese gaming growing up [You must be logged in to view images.

I played with hundreds of "Leeann Rimes" "Legolis" and "Aragorrn" people in my time on live, they didn't even enforce this on live with hundreds of GMs, much less on here with like 2 people to handle petitions. They even let me change my surname to "Thapirrate" when I earned the Swashbuckler title on live.

I'll take my corpse recovery, and people's IP exemptions to play with their wives over your petty "ohh this name violates the rules" garbage.

What the hell is "Thapirrate", or better yet, what does it even mean?

The Pirate, it was the only way I was able to spell it to get it to work.
