Yeah, so?

Can we, you know, judge the movie after we've seen it, perhaps? I mean, because that kinda seems like a good idea.
Personally, I love the idea of sending up the movie industry AND the Vietnam war movie at the same time. So postmodern, it makes me shiver.

The whole concept behind Gaijin is just an example of how deeply ingrained racism is in japan.

What are you, some kind of communist? Because that's communist talk. Judging after we've seen it... psh.

I suppose so. But if that's the case, then you have to say that about every culture, really. I mean, everyone notices a foreigner, regardless of where they're from. It just happens to be easier to spot someone like me (a blue-eyed blondie) in Japan that in other places. I never felt insulted when they called me that. Maybe that's just a virtue of mine, though. I don't know.
I see your point, though.
