| scottie said: 1) There's something so amazing about the statement that all Japanese people are racist :P Saying "But I have never understood why they are so damn'd xenophobic." is racist.
2) The claim that Tsujino represents Sony Top brass in its entirety is of course an exaggeration
3) Hiring someone when their particular skills are needed, and then, when their particular skills are not needed letting them go is in no sense an action to be criticised. Indeed to do otherwise would be to betray the shareholders.
4) Surely the fact that they are willing to hire an American as their CEO surely shows that Sony execs are not xenophobic, nor do they employ racial discrimination. With those two out of the way, the only conclusion can be that they recognise that different cultures tend to nurture different characteristics in those it raises - to paint with a wide brush it is safe to say that being raised in America is more likely to encourage initiative and outspokenness, while being raised in Japan is more likely to encourage selflessness and politeness. When Tsukino refered to Stringer as a foreigner, he referred to his upbringing, not his ancestry. You may refer to this as racist if you like (I personally do not) but it is sure as hell not xenophobic |
