AkitaTom is a racist! [Relax! I'm just playing!]

[sundownslayer]

Grant's my last name. haha

[SlickYagami]

Wow, 8 minutes and 8 secs I've wasted in my life. All I can say is you're almost as crazed as Kairosan, if not but on the same level as him.

[Masqueradia]

OMG I love you. Subscribe to the guy who reminds me of my eighth/nineth/tenth/twelth grade english teacher. You're awesome.

[dumplingfriend]

LOL ALLEGEDLY BLACK

[cow2pug]

just calmdown a but tom gest what your white too but. you relly can say iny thing becuse you have not been there. and you have not liveded there soo you should not bee like that.

[hellrell400]

its funny how u actually pull out that toy gun

lol

great vid

[crimsonigloo]

Dude! You're videos are awesome!!!

I want to come and drink with you! ^_^

[L1b3rta]

To the person on the video: That you would do something different doesn't mean some one else would. Good to know your opinion though.

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Really? I had no idea.

[MZLweasel123]

Darn, it didn't post...

Time to type it all out again...

Just to clarify:

When I say "Policing its residents" like it's a bad thing, I mean that the government should only step in by itself when someone infringes on other's rights. The rest of the time they should deal with complaints.

[MZLweasel123]

I definitely agree.

Are you a libertarian as well? xD

While I believe the government should not serve some purposes (like policing residents and then serving the industries), it is good for other things like making people stop discriminating.

I could play devil's advocate here and say that Mr. James is giving Japanese people the wrong impression on white people, but I don't feel like it. Going after things like that just makes us look like jerks and causes more Japanese Only signs.

[yotafro]

ha, keep the drinks coming.

[Ishidasouken]

well I disagree on both

death penalty and drugs

nobody should consume drugs and to have a government controlling it seems good

and death penalty is all about justice, and thats all about balance. Some people just lost their right to continue living by discarding their humanity

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Nobody should consume drugs, but legal drugs and alcohol is OK? So, it's OK if your doctor gives you drug and then you accidentally get hooked on them because doctors are perfect and never make mistakes. Right?

Justice in an imperfect system is not justice.

[TkyoSam]

HEY I MADE A VIDEO! IT WAS OVER 25MB and I couldn't send it to you over email! I really wanted to be a part of that, god dammit! I R TEH BLACKz0r0z0!

[ElevenColors]

TkyoSam,

Yousendit is your friend.

[bokunohatsukoi]

but how about when what you "do" with your body puts other people in danger?

lol...just saying great vid!

[kairosan]

okay i'm posting a new video.....

[TokyoZeplin]

Man, couldn't agree more. Great video!

Personally I hate it when people defend any and all unjust things in Japan with "but its a different culture" or "just go home if you dont like it".

Dont really know what to say, you covered some damned good points in your random rant of rambling!

[DJRaivu]

I was gone for a week and you come up with THIS!?

well done, Victor :)

[BahamutDKing]

Ever notice when people say about Raciesum and Japan.

it's never been a Japanese or even asian coming to there defense it's always been other forigeners i admire that so much.

[markshmily]

Interesting vid, thanks for posting.

[sonicphotonic]

I love that you have trouble saying マクナダナルド too! マクis easier, in my opinion.

[reaper4255]

I know what you mean about Debito, he has many good points. But he also starts a lot of really trivial things.

[kairosan]

lol man, y so serious?

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Why so extremely moronic?

[cguevara12]

How dare he... GRRRRRRRR!!!

[ThePeacefulCat]

How did you get your video screen so big..??

-P-Cat

[Gimmeaflakeman]

I don't know why that is happening. Weird.

[bell02]

LOL, you are hilarious! But you should have made those jokes in Japanese because then it would be trolling.

I don't know where all the HG talk came from, but I think he's more of an example to homophobia than tolerance...Personally I think Japan is weird in terms of conservatism/liberalism, they're like the Fox network as a country, liberal and conservative at the same time but not neutral or moderate.

I also think for the most part its Culture shock of Amrkn not living in immigrant country.

[Kalamolng]

I hate when Westerners complain when are being mistreated when they go to Asia! When clearly when Asians visit places like America they are always mistreated! Subtle but very obvious! But the difference is that Asians don't whine about it! They take it in stride! Unlike most Westerns who by the slight sight of racism cower and complain!

[CuriousCuriosity]

I'd say "Always" is an overstatement. Not saying it doesn't happen in America, but I'd stress that it really depends on where they go.

I can't imagine California (never been there, but just saying) or Hawaii (again, never been) who are home to the majority of Asians in America would treat other Asians poorly.

Just saying.

[Kalamolng]

Well again its very subtle Americans have honed that skilled for quite awhile! Its been awhile since I have been America. In fact my brother actually did an experiment! He tried to buy clothes at Abercrombie which is a store that exist everywhere in the US! So asked if the sale person can take the clothes off the display! He said he can't! But when he asked his Caucasian friend to take the clothes out of the display the person obliged!

[CuriousCuriosity]

No offense, but Abercrombie isn't the best example. It all depends on who you get.

I bet if I went into Abercrombie and asked were something was located I would get snubbed, why? Because I don't wear Abercrombie. I'm outside of their clique.

It's not always racism. =\

Granted, what happened to your bro isn't acceptable, imo. Plus why would you want to take the clothes off the display? They have them folded right next to it typically. I'd say no just because it's a pain, lol.

[Kalamolng]

Why can't that be? I mean there was a case about discrimination about that store! Where an Asian applied for a job! UM yeah the experiment was done consecutively! I mean him first then the other Caucasian! Plus that store gets lawsuits every time for being completely was DOUCHE!

My aunt's (Half American) husband (American) kept referring us as "Orientals"! So please DO NOT DEFEND THIS! I know what the hell I AM TALKING ABOUT!

If your not person of color you will not about this! EVER!

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Kalamong, I agree that a non-minority will probably never really understand what racism feels like.

BUT your ONE experiment does not count as a scientific sampling. There are MANY things to consider.

And one stupid employee does not mean the store itself has a racist policy.

Anyway...

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Um, your comment makes no sense. You drinking? What's up man?

[Kalamolng]

No! I was referring Abercrombie has been sued when they refuse to hire an Asian who tried applying! Sorry!And I didn't proof read it! I have dyslexia! Sometimes I forget that I'm trying to type something and it end up not making much sense lol!

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Gotcha. OK.

[Kalamolng]

Yeah in the Philippines in Subic! There are even signs that say "No Dogs and Filipinos Allowed" way back! See even in other countries!

So if there's from of reverse racism against you guys! Seriously learn to look at mirror sometimes! Its overstated to people who tuned those things out and those who aren't even Asian!

[BlkUnk]

tottaly disagree.... there is nothing wrong with stating injustice.... that's not complaining..... also i dont think Japanese themselves cant and dont know the racism faced by Japan.......i dont know much about Amerika, but in Canada we tend to treat people pretty fairly.

[Kalamolng]

Maybe but I haven't been in Canada! But Caucasians rarely get racism if any at all! So if there are any! Have u felt racism? Were you ever been compared to dog? Or like a leper that you have to be segregated?

Then you don't know squat! You don't what's it like Japan, you don't know what's it like to be in America? Do you know what racism feels like? Rare exoerience like this is what will help you reflect on what it is! Because alot of Caucasians rarely know what that is! I'm sorry!

[ilovebraziljapan]

あれっ？？なんで画面がこんなに大きくなっているんですか？観や­すい！笑

Victor, you're so funny!!

[Ph4rOah]

how about not using the tags so no one is sandbagged by your mug just sayin' hey thanks sweet awesome epic cool alright later broheim

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Sandbagged? What are you talking about?

[creepyk1d]

Good Evening. Chemist in Japppppppan de gozaimasu.

[MikeRyu]

I think we should get back at the cruel Japanese and be racist to them in our countries!

Ah wait... No, they're all in Japan.

[Ashietaka]

again, agree with you about the drug issue in Japan. I've been trippin on how the news has been talking about Sakai every morning because of E or whatever it was she took, by the way her husband is an ASS. Anyway, yes drugs are bad, but they shouldn't make such a big issue out of it, esp those who just consume it, not selling it. Those are different things and should be treated as such. Just my opinion though. Just make sure you don't have drugs, unless it's Alcohol, that's okay though.

[Ashietaka]

hahaha, tha'ts funny you got that dirty japanese book, I was just checking that out at a fellow students pad last week, hahaha

[Knnedy]

Oh yeah I don't think tkyosam was in the colab. xD

Oh and I'm a moron for life!

[Gimmeaflakeman]

WORD!

[chimera15]

I don't know, I think Hard Gay is pretty funny. They have more liberal tv than America. Hard Gay would never be allowed on American tv. roflol

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Yeah, HD makes me laugh.

[chimera15]

フウウううううう！！　hehe

[pmf026]

cercl

[tatemichitaro]

LOL i love your videos no matter what they are about! they are always so funny^^

[systemjap]

agreed lol

[Nuolimieli]

cercl

[RisuMiso]

Debito is a bit too extreme sometimes, but I guess he moderates things a bit overall. I complain a bit myself, but I do not understand the people that choose to complain about Japan non-stop. Those people I question why they choose to be in Japan if they are so adverse to its ways. Look at any comment on Japantoday, no one has anything good to say, just a bunch of whiners.

[6663000]

I only know about that McDonalds guy because of ElevenColours recent video where he said it looked like BusanKevin. haha

[desdays]

Doofus! (sp?) :)

[Rekkie88]

Lol. You actually had to include that you were kidding. ^^

Some people just cant see the whole picture i suppose!

[Radrey]

stay black... I wonder who that reminds me of.

[AkitaTom]

Great video! Made me laaaaaaaaaugh.  Black black and thanks for the shout out~

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Good! Cuz if you hadn't I would have said GET OFF MY VIDEO!

[RMSanford]

lmao. love that mr. burns figure you got.

[Curas1]

It's funny but being more of a isolationist in America , kind of a nationalist but more about being a natural born citizen than race I agree with the Japanese kinda 'against' whites or foreigners the gaigen (sp), it's their country what right do you have to impose your diversity on it ?

In America we fought the Indians, beat out the French and like ten other nations, used blacks and Asians to build the country and beat out the Mexicans that did the same..were immigrants but they aren't.

[Curas1]

Sometimes I don't see the present anymore, but the feeling that were moving through history that all to soon will be something we reflect upon and not something that we take for granted as the normal everyday life of the 'now'.

So when I think about race I think about history, ancient, recorded and what we call current events that in the book of life was the last page we just read

So while I have no illusions I have any greater insight than another, I wonder about those that think they do

[JimmerSD]

I hate it when I have to back track on the videos... (Plowing mode on)

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Sorry, Jimmer!

[TheFrenchGuy]

In short: Debito is not able to relinquish his North American view of the ad (why should you feel any kind of fealty/connection to Mr. James? That's cultural insensitivity/imperialism), and his campaign would have done more harm than good to "our" image than the McDonald's commercial in its current form, had his campaign reached mass Japanese media. Just imagine what most Japanese would think of his campaign against the innocent and typical Japanese ad had they known about it in national news.

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Personally love your comments. Even if you are French.

JUST KIDDING!

[TheFrenchGuy]

I thought we were striving to be recognized as individuals and make the Japanese see "us" accordingly. But, no, apparently Debito just wants to make Japan a North America 2, where everyone is either Asian/White/Black, and there is such a thing as "acting black", etc.

I'm sorry if Americans find my posts too offensive, but the US and Canada are the most racial-centered societies at the moment. Do you have any idea how we Europeans feel when people write books named "Stuff white people like"?

[desdays]

Man! That was a lot of vids this evening!

[anfield22]

macbook white rocks

[TheFrenchGuy]

But this is my biggest problem with his argument: Why SHOULD we feel offended by the ad? Is it because the actor is "white"? American? Foreigner?

That's some nice logic, Debito-san. We shall face unfair group discrimination with an American-centered, cultural insensitive grouping of ourselves! So you come to Japan and start protesting against xenophobia, but then you proceed to live by the American racial group mentality?

[shalashaskalives]

he may be a racist, but Ken Tanaka loves him!

[Insaneagram]

lol :P

[TheFrenchGuy]

What would have we got: The McDonald's innocent and charismatic ad off, and an even increased whole new level of national reputation: We don't care about "gaman", their culture, we complain about everything, we can't stand a simple innocent commercial about a tourist from Ohio. That's really nice to our image, Debito. You have been living in Japan for more than 30 years, you should know by now how do they think, and how you should plan your protests/campaigns/acts/et cetera, Debito.

[TheFrenchGuy]

The ironic point of Debito-san no campaign (don't call him mister, that's racism, since he must be adressed by -san): All his cultural insensitivity is nice on some issues, so we can get some things through. But not on this case.

Have you ever stopped to think the effects of his campaign had it ever reached the Japanese media? He surely didn't. Had it reached mass Japanese media, the effects would have probably been worse to our image than the supposedly wicked McDonald's ad.

[channeIreview]

There are very serious race/anti-foreigner issues which need to be dealt with in Japan. However, most of those issues deal with Asians and Pacific Islanders that most of the folks who watch your videos are entirely ignorant of.

[RadicalComedy]

hehe...well, I am off to discover AkitaTom...I am now overwhelmingly curious...~Raven

[DavePerry2012]

"I think drugs are bad" [downs a shot of liquor]

Hee hee.

[BusanKevin]

Yep....sounds like Akitatom should have never sent a response to that guy.

[AkitaTom]

Incredible boredom drives many of my videos, including that one =D

[sandpeopleaway]

haha great video victor.and i agree with you... i wouldnt even respond to that guy. I could not take half of that response seriously. Him dancing and those glasses...just dont work.

[litdemon]

Man, I had a video response to one of your old vids where I peel open a brand new bottle of Johnny Walker Gold and a take a double-shot. Had too much trouble uploading it... and the soundtrack I added caused the file to jump to over 2 Gigs. Did what I could to re-edit and export the files to make them smaller, but to no avail... :-/ I gotta figure it out.

Anywho... CERCL

Take care

[Gimmeaflakeman]

What do you use? Check the front of my profile. It has export info for video. Don't give up! It's fun here. Join us.

[MissHannahMinx]

I like him, too! And I actually thought about that, too. Disagreeing with a black person. HAHAHA.

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Hey! I called yesterday! How's the USA?

[decoysupreme]

the 2nd option is good. I am willing to breed the Japanese till there are only half left.

[Degenskonto]

Where's my shotglas?! *Takes a sip*

[akasaart]

as middle-class American white male, I would like to officially verify that the accusations are true: all white people are racist.

[dirtyjoe91]

u know it was the racist people who gave u thumbs down lmao

[akasaart]

this is the internet

in text form, most people never pick up on sarcasm, no matter how absurd you make the statement

[kakera]

All morons are equal in their banality. or something. give me cake or give me.... er, cake.

[tsjoencinema]

You play electric guitar?

[synterlu]

Actually the moron made a video response to akitatom and then akitatom made the video response you are showing

[Gimmeaflakeman]

Doesn't really explain anything.... but check the dates of the *response* vid.

[Exhalethepain]

Victor for president!

[DuckHeadlolz]

im just gonna put it out there, AkitaTom's face is well annoying..

[AkitaTom]

Lol i know right.

[coops330]

Such a disgusting human aren't ya LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF

[cloudzack1090]

they wanna keep selling cancer sticks though :s. i quit smoking 8 days

[TAz69x]

Weed is considerably safer than ethanol and cigarettes; enjoy it! ^_^

[miniscus5]

i was sub tu akitatom first and found givemeaflake on related videos

[Kordoc5]

Same here

[BXXIII]

you call that a gun?

[martjalartistvannabe]

[flowergirl1313]

love your keith haring shirt

[RobBobMarley]

lol Mr.Burns. I remember seeing the video of the guy with the white weirdo sunglasses a while ago.

'' . . . buy up all the land, and make guns legal'' lol

[TheDutchGaijin]

Drink more you silly bastard!

[Hikosaemon]

Shizzle!

[ShadowBlazer19]

Just Kidding! lol To be honest people will find prejudice anywhere they go. I find in a lot of cases there is a reason some places in Japan dont like foreigners and its not because of their skin colour either (bad experience etc.).

[keibichan]

3:35　と　4:35　爆笑ｗｗｗ

かいろさんの動画見に行く。かいろさんやばいｗｗｗｗｗｗ

mr burns cracked me up. can't wait to see how many people take you seriously on calling him a racist.

[aameenah]

Kampai!

[oldhacks]

all japanese people are racist.

[Gimmeaflakeman]

I understood. But others didn't.

[NagualElias]

your comment is ironically racist.

[Gimmeaflakeman]

I think that was his point.

[tomacalin86]

the drunker you get, the funnier you are.
