U all saw konami press conference. Why were so many ov ppl on th net racist towrds them and making fun of th jpnese way they sed things? They tried their best, cud u go to jpn and give a speech in jpnese? Th presnters wer trying to be natural and tryng to gel in with audience, I ws proud at how well they all spoke english. Is disrespectful to mock them. As a japanese person living in west I felt offended by how intrnt acted to their press confrnce, jst wnted to tell my feelings.

There's a difference between being racist and laughing at Konami's press conference...
There were plenty of other Japanese presenters who were fine. Also, people make fun of English presenters in the same way. When someone does something in public, they open themselves up to critisism and there are a LOT of people waiting to critisize other people for whatever reason. Also, not everyone has to like something.
Try not to take it personally. Since if some Americans tried to speak Japanese they would likely receive the same ridicule. It's not racist.
I may not have read the posts you're referring to.
