But it is true. Like when Americans were complaining about that Avril Levine Japanese music video being cultural appropriation. While Japanese were like, Lol. We love it.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen

I'm saying, just saying that American racial relations are different and that Americans tend to assume that other countries' race relations are analogous to American race relations is not in itself that useful of a thing to say, and also that it seems like people say it almost regardless of what the conversation looks like

DA

It's very relevant if the OP of the secret is saying Bond should be South Asian, as South Asians aren't on most American anti-racists' radar.

Japanese nationals don't have the same relationship to white people cultural appropriation and racism as those living in a white majority society. Japan has never been colonised in the way that many non-Western societies have, and aren't a first nations people. So it's a really different situation where they don't feel threatened on the whole by aspects of their culture fetishised and trivialised. In my experience anyway.

Japanese nationals in general don't have a good understanding of racism, period. Them not finding a video racist against them =/= it's not racist.

Wasn't it directed by an actual Japanese producer? I mean there's a limit to how far you can stretch this. There were soooooo many bits in there that conform to how Japanese perceive foreigners and what kind of music videos are popular there.
