| We need a new victim group - blacks have jumped the shark and are boring... Seems a better NEW victim group would be the Japanese. * * * I see what you'e doing. GOPJ, highlighting the ridiculous to make a point. Putting myself in the stance of a leftist, identity-politics-minded person, I would consider the Japanese not a very good victim group. Indeed, Japanese-Americans have among the highest per capita earning power which makes them capitalists, price-gougers, and therefore oppressors -- in leftist group-think. But let me say this about the Japanese whose culture I've been in close contact for 40 years. They treat food as something sacred, so if any society would condemn what this Subway society-destroyer is doing, it's the Japanese. In America, I blame our educational system and media. Their corruption is poisoning our melting-pot-of-cultures through CRT and their blame-the-oppressor-group idiocy. If you look back at TV shows like Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie, these were shows that both entertained and taught the public moral values. In Japan's NHK public broadcast station, the TV shows they produce lift up the country, not tear it down. And yet, they also leave room for the bizarre and off-beat. Matsuko is a big man who dresses like a woman. He has a popular talk show where she samples food, crack jokes, and gives intelligent opinion as he interviews people who collect things, follow local culture, write blogs about ramen restaurants, or are experts in both ordinary and way-out stuff. But in all the shows NHK broadcasts ,the objective is to buttress Japan's culture, knowledge, and prosperity. |  |
