[Kareena1988]

@NeoTranshuman unfortunately it is.

[Daylady1028]

This definitely motivates me to endure the lengthy process of learning Japanese >_< I'm so proud and jealous of them at the same time!

[Kareena1988]

Im surprised that these people can speak japanese properly....they dont think they speak immediately..strange huh?

[jokersmile4hahahaha]

There are racist people in every country in the world. That doesn't mean that the whole country hates a particular kind of person. That thought in itself is racism against the racist person's country.

I've been to many different countries, and not every person treats me the same as every other person, for whatever reasons. Everybody has different likes and dislikes, and not just about race. Don't let that stop you from learning whatever you want to learn.

i love japan and my dream is to go there when i grow up. but .. i can't speak japanese YET . XD but first i need to finish my school.

[gabtkt]

3:30 he's right but in France it's called "Olive et Tom". I watched it on TV with my friend when I was 6 year old before going at school. We played Pokémon and Donkey Kong on Game Boy Color and we didn't even realise that all this was from Japan ^^

[AvocadoBeige]

@ImKazuaki of course you love gaijins who are white western and speak perfect japanese! execept for korean, chinese, thais and other inferior asians, cause they are not lovable gaijins they are all illegal criminals right? you dont have to ask how i know this, the japanese media and government told me!

[championcough]

french guy at 3.18 is so hot!!!

[amyOfEgypt]

chotto matte kudasai!!! arabic soredemo nihongo proverbs O_O grammar the same? ehhhh....??? i didnt notice...

[lyndyfu1124]

None of these people are particularly fluent, just normal. If you think they are fluent you may want to study more!

[ScuzzAsh]

they must have went through bunch of foreigners to find some that could actually speak fluently

[Daylady1028]

@ScuzzAsh I was just thinking the same thing!

[kouca01]

日本人は人種差別しないよ。

日本語には「和を以って貴しとなす」という言葉があります。

意味は「宗教や人種などの派閥を無くして相手を理解する」という­意味です。

外国人がいれば驚くけど、害が無い限り嫌うことは１００％無いで­す。

[PenguinWalrus0]

@ImKazuaki Would you say there is racism in Japan?

[TheTheAdgjl13579]

最後の人普通に日本人みたいｗｗ

下手するととかそれこそとか要するにとか・・

すばらしい！！

[fuzetsu490]

[lhizmishca]

well, i think english language is one of the easiest language to learn.,.haha:)) it's our second language here in the Philippines....hiihi

[freedfighter96]

Anyone have good tips on learning Japanese? I got the basics down, I just don't know how to extend my vocabulary to talk in a whole conversation...

@mflolovesme

Best of luck to you but I really wish people stop playing "race card" when it comes to living in my country though. Like you've said, this topic can go on for days but just keep in mind that you'll not be accepted 100% of the time.  You'll feel much better. To be fair, I didn't get accepted 100% of the time when I studied in the States. So called "rednecks" thought all the Asians are Chinese...

[beckomobil]

damn...I wanna know Japanese just like they do.Naah even better...

[lovelydreams139]

wow, someone from gorgia^^

thx for uploading,

[unCivilizedInfanta]

@mflolovesme Good luck with that ^_^

[novajoke]

@unCivilizedInfanta

Why don't they do this in the States???? I guess learning the English language is not as big deal as learning Japanese.

[freedfighter96]

@novajoke

English is harder than you thin, if its not your first language...

[unCivilizedInfanta]

@novajoke

well, obvious reason, why they don't do this in States, is you can't really say, if someone is American or not just by looks.And you wouldn't stand in the middle of a street, asking people randomly,whether they're foreigners.

Second, learning Japanese is as much big a deal as learning any other foreign language- Japanese people make a big fuss out of foreigners who speak their language,because they.think,that.their language is too difficult for "stupid gaijin" to learn.

[novajoke]

@unCivilizedInfanta

Granted but more and more non-English speaking people are moving to your country though (LEGAL or Illegal). Although I'm Japanese, I never make a fuss about non-Japanese speaking Japanese though.  If you live in that country, you should learn the language whether it's Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, etc. etc.

Of course I've learned English by studying and living in the States instead of going to McEikaiwa Shools in Japan.

[unCivilizedInfanta]

@mflolovesme Naah... wouldn't say that. The fact that they are conducting interviews with foreigners, doesn't make them less prejudiced against "gaijin". There are,of course, Japanese who are open-minded about other cultures, but from what I've heard, they are an exception rather than rule. Still, the topic you raised is very controversial, so, I guess, there'll be people who'd disagree with me.

[xxNightberryx]
