“Its a fully colonialized[sic] population, a culture eviserated[sic] by the American occupation and a distain[sic] for things Japanese. A culture where Japanese men are viewed as second-rate to foreigners: read Euro or American[.]”
Aw, poor little sweeties, unable to fend off the big, bad, strong, eviscerating American occupiers.
Actually, the Japanese embrace and reject whichever aspects of foreign cultures they want, just like every other country.
There’s no such thing as “cultural imperialism.” That’s simply a term thought up by patronizing westerners.
Having lived in Tokyo for five years and faced virulent Japanese racism, I can say unequivocally that the one thing Japan does not have is a disdain for things Japanese.
The Japanese are not victims, for God’s sake. The name of their country in their own language means “The Origin of the Sun.”
Shrinking violets they aren’t.
