Description:

This is a clip from the serial anime, "Azumanga Daioh." Though it is not a racist show by any means, it certainly indulges a number of benevolent stereotypes. In this clip, we see how (some) Japanese seem to perceive Gaijin (foreigners) in Japan.

Sigh...the point of the "Blah blah" is to show how oblivious the short black haired woman is towards the English language. To her, English is like complete jibberish because she doesn't know it. Think of it as and Englishman who only speaks English, listening to a Japanese conversation. The Englishman would be pretty lost. Just like the woman in the anime.

They're partly xenophobic because of the history Asia has had with the Western countries. Eg. foreign occupation of Japan, and invasion of China.

It almost annoys me that I'm learning Japanese, because of the massive ignorance by Americans, namely "otaku", towards Japan.. who think because they like a few anime shows they're Japan experts, sounding stupid all the time. I can't mention Japanese without getting asked "Why? Anime?" I'd still like to live in Japan eventually, but I would hate to just go there and teach English live everyone else. How boring.

Are there any jobs in Japan for self-hating gaijin who don't really know the language?
