A people's culture is their ways of life, and the last time I check, the Japanese people aren't being publicly irresponsible for recklessly exploiting themselves. Just why is it that the "Japanophile" are behaving so negatively irresponsible, while excusing themselves for their ignorance and shallowness by saying "it's anime", or even worst "it's Japanese", is completely beyond me. So those "Japanophile" had better explain themselves to people like us, the anime fans, just exactly who they are, if they can. Otherwise don't even bother coming to us, and asking for respect, equality, acceptance, understanding. When they had done absolutely nothing positive to our anime fandom community.
Well, Eugene McCarthy did made this cynical quote about politics. But that made the difference of how ordinary Democratic voters are more important in the allocation of delegate votes, and required that African-Americans, women and youth be better represented at the 1972 Democratic convention. Even though during that time, the African-Americans, women and youth were deemed too dumb to even understand the game of politics by public beliefs.

But hey, that's a positive change on the game of politics by subjecting the African-Americans, women and youth to political correctness. So in order to make positive change on the "Japanophile" within the anime fandom, we all need to know just what can be considered as being "politically correct", before the word itself gets carelessly tarnished and wrecked by our own ignorance and shallowness of our behaviors.

BTW, thanks for the insight. I was rather enjoying the process of educating myself by using that photo as a lead.

You know an argument has reached the pinnacle of absurdity when it finally comes around (as they all seem to do) to World War II. Geez.
McCarthyism?? REALLY???

Quoted for truth(although McCarthy was Cold War era, not WWII). Why hasn't this nonsense thread been locked yet? It's been a whole week and people just keep getting more and more ridiculous.
