[unlawful12]

I totally agree. I'm Japanese and i think the country is retarded for making a big deal about sagging his pants. Blame Japan for having no swag what so ever.

[RealNumber1BSArtist]

OMG someone was offended on the internet...

[jayseo]

SWAG. 

[rikharde86]

lol @ anybody thinking the japanese have any reason to be the least bit sensitive about their race, i mean cmon, its an awesome nation... ill leave it at that. slurs tend to effect people who have insecurities

[shakafo00o]

They don't say anything about the tight pants...

[yowzephyr]

Calling Japanese people "japs" is like calling Germans "krauts". Is calling Germans "krauts" racist? Of course not. Calling Japanese people "japs" is disrespectful and bigoted, but the disdain can be based on culture, not race.

[JimAsian1]

@yowzephyr n it's racist, I know, I'm Japanese and it is.

[JimAsian1]

@yowzephyr Japs is racist. Calling Germans "Krauts" is also racist. If you don't think so, why don't you call a German person this. Please, understand it is derogatory and racist.

Thanks

[yowzephyr]

@yowzephyr It's ethnocentric, not racist. People don't understand the difference. Ethnocentrism is when you look down upon a culture. It's often mistaken for racism, because often the ethnocentric person IS also racist. But you can't be SURE that the ethnocentric person is also a racist.

kazu is the man

[imasnowborder32]

it dont matter how he dresses he isnt a business man

[guitarnoobssuck]

WTF...Who gives a shit. Honestly, wouldn't the Japs care more about doin well in halfpipe than how a rider is dressed? Besides they gotta learn, there's something called style in this world

[pablitoautran]

Kazu is a damn cool guy! Very powerfull lines...

I don't think that "Japs" is a racist term, but if you - asian guys - think so, seems to me better to do not use it...

Cheers for Kazu and your almost medallist second run in vancouver...

Aloha from Brazil!

[mrxmoptop]

hes the man

[beenthesun]

Nose bleeding guy.

[MrThe4zuperman]

he`s damn cool : D

Japan has to revamp their Olympics Team. From 2006 when they only won 1 Medal to now when again they won only about 4 medals and not 1 gold. They have to wake up and change their Japan Olympic Committee and get mentally stronger. They seem very weak right now and need to change their plans.

Please, wake up Japan. Learn from your poor showing the the Winter Olympics and improve

Peace

It was funny when the Japs kept rolling their Bobsleds over.

[JimAsian1]

@SPS148669 "Japs" is a racist term Please don't say that.

Thanks.

@JimAsian1

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as "Japs" is in fact, Nipponese, or as I've been recently referring to the term, "Nihs". Japs is not an racist comment onto itself but rather another shorter version of a fully functioning society made useful by history, the national Diet, and vital morals comprising a full race as defined by the United Nations.

[JimAsian1]

@imavoidingmyblock @imavoidingmyblock Pleaes, I don't care if you try to rationalize "Jap" as not racist, it is a very racist term and very offensive to Japanese people. If you think other wise, why don't you call a Japanee person that. Tell me what is the response to that when you say it. It's offensive and derrogatory

Love and Peace to you

@JimAsian1 politically correctness is only bullshit

[JimAsian1]

@Lenangreal It's not being Politically correct, there's adifference between being racist and politically correct.

[Lenangreal]

@JimAsian1 racism? this has nothing to do with racism. i bet you live in the Usa

[JimAsian1]

@Lenangreal It is racist, I'm Japanese, and it is racist. What ethnicity are you? I bet you have words that are racist to your people. If so, please understand it is hurtful to say such things. Please understand this. I wouldn't be racist to you, so why can't you understand that this is a very rude name to call a person of Japanese ethnicity. Believe me, it is rude. If you don't think so, why don't you call a person of Japanese ethnicity this, I think you won't get smiles R

Thanks
