What's your take on the Burakumin and Japanese racism? Is it still a big problem?

[/ QUOTE ]
I never met any of them when I was in Japan. If I did, I didn't know, so to me, it wasn't a big deal, but they do exist. Japanese people in general aren't racist, IMO.

Why is Japanese porn so terrible?

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't know because I like Japanese porn better than American porn.

Do you feel Japan should publicly acknowledge, apologize, and make reparations for their WW2 war crimes/atrocities?

[/ QUOTE ]
Difficult question. I personally feel that we did a lot of horrendous things in the past, and my responsibility is not to repeat them. I don't feel like *I* have to apologize though.

Thoughts on the atomic bombs, were they necessary?

All I'm going to say is that almost everyone is Japan thinks that the US did an awful thing by dropping the bombs, regardless of whether that was the only way to stop the war or not.

On a day to day level, what do the Japanese think about Americans?

Generally speaking, we have positive image about Americans.
