Part Two: THE RISE AND FALL OF AN ISSUE

After a meteoric rise (pity meteors don't rise), the issue faces the nay-sayers. Fukuzawa contrarians begin to chisel away at the legitimacy of complaining. "What's wrong with the word 'gaijin' anyway? Aren't we being 'politically correct' here?" My observations are on how non-Japanese aren't used to working together as a minority group, and find themselves unable to cooperate with one another.

Or how about Japan's version of "Little Black Sambo", "Little Black Sambo", "Little Black Sambo", Japan's version of "Little Black Sambo", Or see a parody of it by clicking on the gook.

When Little Yellow Jap was strolling through the mountains one day, out came a snow monkey taking a bath in a hot springs. 'Hey,' the monkey cried, 'I like Chinese food. So I'll eat you.' Jap exchanged his overcoat for his life."

Note the long sleeves--another Asian stereotype of Asians walking around in hand-tuckable long sleeves or pajamas in public.
