The problem is that in Japan, all of these issues are tied together. Since it's believed that only "the Japanese" (which doesn't include anyone from Zainichi Koreans to Chinese to anyone with non-Japanese national origin or appearance features) can truly practice Shinto or Bushido, that automatically makes them "superior." If the beliefs opened up, then this would not be racist, but it's like if fundamentalist Christianity had an "only white people may apply" sign on it.

Ah... I see. I thought it may be as much. I probably shouldn't have been making so many presumptions without having a clear background on the Japanese cultural view on such things (you probably know more about that than I do). So yes, I can see why you might feel he has racism issues. Although I am still hoping that it was his own view and not that of the racist nationalists. I still doubt that this will have an effect on me liking his early music though.

At least I know more of the situation now. Thnx hun.
