In the 80s, Japan's economy was growing fast and people were convinced that they were going to overtake the US. Then their economy stalled and China started to explode.
See 80s/early 90s movies too...
Black Rain, Gung Ho, etc.

"I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of ya over myself
I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well."

The Japanese DGAF. They're probably the most homogeneous country on the planet. They're absolute racists in their own right and they'll tell you that straight to your face.

They're a fascinating dichotomy. A culture steeped in tradition, honor and respect that loves to absolutely humiliate their own people on tv shows.

That said, I gotta respect the folks that gave us Bo-Taoshi. LINK

Is Japanese a race... or just an ethnicity?

It's according to who sings it.

Are they white? If so, yes but if they're left wing they can be forgiven

Are they white and conservative? If so, frick yeah and they should be canceled, locked away and exterminated.
