Howdy everyone, it’'s that time of the week when the mind of the nine-to-fiver has ripened to a soft, mulchy pulp and bloggers everywhere trot out their poorest key-jingling excuses for entertainment, so prepare yourselves for... Friday Grab-Bag!
Part I: More Fun with Racial Stereotypes
Last night, C-Baby and I made one of our regular pilgrimages to Japantown in search of Saba Shioyaki (grilled mackerel), which she values somewhere between solid gold and food and shelter. For those who may not have been there, J-Town can seem like it was built by people from Kansas who learned everything they know about Japan from The Karate Kid Part II, complete with fake indoor bamboo awnings, rocks, and trees. In spite of this, it’'s a very popular shopping and dining spot——for genuine Asians and Asian-Americans looking for a taste of home, as well as for pasty white guys looking for demure girls with visa troubles.
Anyway, as we were walking past a book store with a TV in the window, I saw a black and white image of a Japanese man in a suit, and thought, "“Oh, that must be the emperor."” Then after a second, I said to C-Baby, "“You know, I was convinced in my mind that the guy I just saw on television was the emperor, but now that I think of it, he could’'ve just been any Japanese guy in a suit.”"
“"Kind of like when you thought Barack Obama was going to bring your luggage?"” she asked.
However, since I came of age in the 80s, when Japan was an economic powerhouse, one would think I would be more likely to expect the Japanese to be successful businessmen, etc., and not think that the only way a Japanese guy gets to wear a suit is if he’'s the emperor. So the more I think of it, I may have been recognizing an image I’'d seen somewhere before—and I think there’'s a good chance he really was the emperor. In your face, racial prejudice!
Part II: Moral Ambiguity
I may be a bad person for taking great pleasure in this story (via C-Baby)...
But I don’'t think I’m a bad person for really hoping this tanks:
