I think I was brought up in a different environment than what was stated by Screwtape in that my father and most of his friends were European immigrants and there was the occasional stereotypical ribbing, but nothing ever malicious. I had people try the, "Hail Hitler!" thing on me (can you guess what nationality why father is yet? lol), but they wouldn't try it a second time after having to listen to me harp on about the bullshit they were speaking and how it didn't relate to me at all. Now being an immigrant myself, I've found there are about three or four steps to being "accepted" in this country depending on the people around you: 1. Can you speak Japanese? 2. Do you understand the culture and act accordingly? 3. Is your Japanese pronunciation at an acceptable level? (ffs, this is just impossible in some cases) 4. Is your occupation something that doesn't involve teaching English in English? Even after this, there are just a massive amount of people that don't accept foreigners for whatever reason. I'm the only foreigner allowed in a local bar near us just because my girlfriend is a customer. Even then, I'm lectured/babied (this depends on whether I argue about it or not) on whatever new thing I'm not doing Japanese enough. I'm happy that my girlfriend's parents are accepting and have no qualms about me. |

Our 100/100 seems meagre now. It doesn't seem like it will go up anytime soon, either. |

Ugh, that whole "past is the past" thing is such BS. They teach their children about all the bad things that happened to Japan in the WW2; but never acknowledge, let alone teach about anything bad they did in WW2. When I was teaching in JHS, the school trip was almost always to Kyoto and Nara, which meant a trip to the Atomic Dome in Hiroshima. I always had to grade papers about their trips and what they learnt about their "history". The biggest insults (even though I'm not American) were (and are still) chapters (in all five major textbooks) devoted to teaching English using this history. I would always ask my kids if they knew about anything famous like Pearl Harbour or the colonial rule of South Korea (not WW2, I know, but still relevant) and I swear that I only had one say yes in all those years. Whenever I would try to talk about the ANZAC tradition in Australia, someone would always try to shut me up in fear of getting in trouble themselves. The most amazing thing was having and adult friend tell me that they only learned of any of Japan's atrocities when a tour guide told them about in on a vacation in Australia and then it struck up a conversation where others admitted that they only learned of such things through the Internet or some other foreign medium. This stuff just isn't in the history books because the government has wanted to appear as the good guys for a very long time now. As an Australian, I was taught about all the atrocities my settler colony (this is after the convicts) ancestors did to the Aborigines; how they tried to steal away their heritage, names and "outbreed" them and eventually steal children away from their families. I actually remember learning of rape from some historical movie I watched in Primary (Elementary) School involving the mistreatment of the Aborigines dating back to the convict colonies, which came as a more than a bit of a shock. The Stolen Generation history itself is a bit skewed in it's teaching, as it focuses purely on Aborigines. My mother (a white woman) was a part of the stolen generation who was put into foster care, as was her foster sibling (a woman I knew as my aunty). But, you can find out this information if you dig a bit. |

Everyone was an asshole during the world wars or were just following the orders of another country. If anyone conveniently forgot history, they're still assholes. Racist assholes. Racism. It's everywhere. Still. I don't wanna talk about my experiences because it'll just make me rant like I have a 6-character nick in all lower-case... |

There's a new Louis CK audience recording floating around. It's been pulled from YouTube, but it's on MySpleen. Hooooly crap, the comments section is not to be touched. |
