RANT "N" RAVE
Off with the gloves
 Shame on Kevin and Mie, who have
completely usurped the snobbishness of Language Snobs and rubbed all of our faces in
hypocritical vitriol. I dare anybody else to take Brian (O'Neill) so seriously and be
upset by his humor-based on reality at that! To read Brian's rant as being vitriolic would
have to take some "self-loathing, probably a loser in his homeland, repatriated,
culturally elitist, snob."
Kevin/Mie, you have a great deal to answer for. But before I say too much, to be picked
apart myself, let me dwell on one minor transgression of hip-hoprisy, as I damn the said
authors for having the innate and great(er) disposition for racism. "KiMie" have
been corrupt and audacious enough to assume and create the idea that Brian "would not
bat an eye if the Japanese-speaking foreigner in question were Chinese or Korean".
Hey, wake-up call. Not that had anything to do with Brian's rant at all (it is purely your
suggestion Kimie), but maybe Brian could actually tell the difference between Chinese,
Koreans, etc. OR, do they all look the same, Kimie?! You, over reactionary but not as
smart as me, fools. Brian merely joked about certain behavior that yes, does exist. In no
way did he make blanket statements that foreigners who learn and can speak Japanese, suck.
Unlike you.
I know this is too appallingly obvious, but it seems that Kimie have themselves written
their rant out of insecurity. I reference their rant "Nihonjinron" again, how
riddled with neuroses it is. A step ahead, and behind itself. Five hundred or so words is
far two many for this killer, tag team of two (2) - read it too writers of many words
about nothing but… Oh yes, they even try to graft an incidence of nihonjinron onto
Brian. Look very closely "you in dire need of AN editor"; even if he were not
joking, sorry, but Japanese is for/ from The Japanese - maybe not "only" them
but one must certainly work and struggle to attain any proficiency with THE LANGUAGE OF
JAPAN.
Sorry again "Mr Gowennabe anything except ignorant, fully assimilated, Westerner
dude," we all do not have the capacity to suck our way to the top. And I do not know
anyone who would actually refuse to speak Japanese if they could.
Mie, I think that you should return your fully imported handbag. It seems that he (oh
yeah, in my language; handbags are of the masculine form) will drag you into not just
petty, but horribly psuedo-intellectual projections of low self esteem - at least in a
country where he can live the sheltered life as someone's bilingual, white gimmick. Oh-oh,
oops, egg is on my face. I forgot to read their rant as a joke.
Many thanks to David Ramin for this Rant.
