The ridiculous comments about Japanese people seem fairly innocuous to me. (Maybe the same is true of your comment about Americans.)

Sarcasm only works if it's funny. Looking at 2 random examples; joking about the word holocaust and saying Japanese people don't read they just play Pokemon... isn't funny. This article just hints at a hidden cultural superiority complex and an immature vindictiveness and bitterness with no forgiving humorous aspects. Good sarcasm is tempered with self deprecation. None of that here. This is just flotsam. The average American can't do humor. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Racism and narrow mindedness, a pathetic attempt at humor.

I thought it was freaking funny. That's exactly how Japanese appears when you're starting out.

And this was EXTREMELY funny! I can't even make a funny joke now after reading all this. P.S. You forget to say about the Yakuza skinheads and pig-cops that usually attack everything that is darker or taller... ...and than you go to the nearby police station and murmur in anal pain: "reipusaremashita!" BUTT seriously, Japan is my dream and even if I get beaten by hobbits daily, it would pay off after doing all the Korean girls. :D Don’t f*ck with Evangelion, dude. :D
