This is what I said: "your contrived "hate" for America proves my original point again. Westernised values impacting on other cultures" MEANING! "hate" of America is for specific reasons. Meaning its Western culture has unwantedly encroached on those who "hate" it. It's a simple equation. The guy continually muddles up FLUENTLY spoken English. It's why he chooses to be offended by the video without listening to the lyrics.

No Bowie isn't racist. Because Iggy Pop wrote this song.

No, you have really misunderstood. I am criticizing WhoDoYouWant for saying Asia had no "hate" before encountering Westerners. He thinks Asia was all peace, love and happiness before whitey came along. Also, despite your PC thesaurus, you're conflating the use of "hate" as a verb and a noun. lrn2english, k?

Speaking of hate, you must be a westerner too. You say all westerners value hate; similarly, you seem to be loathing the westerners yourself. This bigotry and supercilious disdain doesn't make you a citizen to society, it makes you full of SHIT!

Wow. That's the year I was born... I swear he was even weirder looking when he was that young... I don't know why some of the people I know who are my age want to have dirty fan girl sex with him.

Last comment on this: Japanese didn't invent either the television, the car, the computer or the camera! But they liked everyone of our "western" toys and have become very good at making them. More proof of my point. And to shut you up, how's this for racism: Japanese treatment of their fellow "Asians" the Chinese during WW2? Heard about that era of rape and brutality have you? Learn how to interpret "symbolism" before ignorantly attacking Bowie. Bowie racist? Again, I say BULLSHIT.

Sony, Yamaha, Toyota, Canon, Nikon, Nintendo, Korg... They're all leaders in their fields, and they're all JAPANESE. I wonder where they copied market predominance from? Did they copy innovation too? Are ninjas stealing white secrets all around the world? OH NOES~ And if you think "hate" is a uniquely Western value, then you are profoundly ignorant of Asia's history of endless infighting. This is why people say this video is racist: it portrays Asians as "gentle, simpleton natives."

When did the FRENCH become "unwhite"? And I know enough about Japan and its people to know they predominantly love "western" culture. "white" trends, "white " fashions, "white" sensibilities. Plus- if I was a "fucking American pig" I might be offended by what you say, but I'm not! Actually, your contrived "hate" for America proves my original point again. Westernised values impacting on other cultures - just what Bowie is singing about.
