As I said in my reply to liver, I hope there are bloggers in Japan pointing out racism, because there's plenty of that there. And, I urge you to check out Arudou Debito's work on that front. I do feel a little more empathy and familiarity in writing about Japan than some other JAs might, because I was born there and lived there as a lid. So my memories are fresh and personal, and my mom is a textbook case of a racist Japanese woman. Hi YourSoul, thanks for your comment.

What does Gil, a Japanese AMERICAN who blogs about Japanese/Asian American issues, have to do with what goes on in Japan? If someone wants to point out racism in Japan, and believe me there's plenty enough to go around, then they can do it on their website. I agree with you liver.
