American culture is not the “world’s culture”,
Just because you think something should be done in one way doesn’t mean that the rest of the world has to do it in the same way.

I spend the last couple of year living oversea, and has to deal with American management almost daily bases, and only when you live oversea, one can realize how wrong the American thinking/culture can be.

Ironic.

People hating on a country for someone in blackface (which doesn’t carry the same meaning/history in their country/culture as ours BTW), while using tired racist slurs and the oh so classic L and R pronunciation jokes.

I don’t mind at all when someone rants about racist shit, but don’t turn around and hypocritically do the same thing.

You named the baby “Lilly”? She won’t even be able to pronounce it.

/Modern Family seems to be fairly decent

Shouldn’t they be doing it in whiteface?

What do you expect from a country that unapologetically calls our president “Balack Obama”?

That’s odd…Japan has a much richer history of performing in Koreanface.

How does every racist joke told by a Japanese person start?
