As an aside, I consider those people who went through my trash holier than thou types, who are always making assumptions of other people based on what I looked like, as if I couldnt possibly understand the nuances of anything in a foreign country.
I mean, its not like I studied Japan and Japanese language for 9 years before going there (actually, I did), or held a college degree in their language (also, actually, I did, and do). I mean, he’s a foreigner, what does HE know?
There are a lot of people who like to make assumptions about others in the world, who are quick to judge and chastise, and be snarky when they think they can get away with it, often to impress their peers. Some people make a habit of acting like this, and putting a holier than thou attitude on, much like the reverend’s wife from the Simpsons.
Some of those people are in Japan, and gee, some of them are, gasp, even on boing boing (I can think of a couple right now who do this consistently). You wouldn’t know anyone like that, would you?
