What's on your mug?

People or objects that originates from Japan. ...and if that definition gets a thumb down, it’s probably because you are racist against them; usually for no reason other than your unwillingness to accept their economical success (or envy in some cases), hatred from what they have done in the past when you yourself are ignorant about what many other countries have done to Japan and other countries (I am not saying what Japan did in the past isn't wrong, but seriously, don’t base your opinions on tales of some drunk before actually checking its reliability from a good source), and trying to look cool by trashing the Japanese produced entertainment (such as animes or Video Games) without ever experiencing them or knowing that there are more to Japan’s culture than what you see in stores and TVs (Venturing into the outside world or researching helps), that is called being shallow.

That person is Japanese.

By Person

Relating to Japan, it’s culture, or it’s people. (You don’t need to read this if you don’t want to.) As a Japanese person I feel very offended or upset when people only think of Japan, or anywhere in Asia, as a place where cute things reside. Yes we have anime and “kawaii (可愛い)” things, but that’s only two things out of many things that make us special. (Of course you can like anime.) Every culture is very unique and important. They have many different things that are interesting. Such as history. Japan has done some bad things yes, but so has every culture. And you shouldn’t hold that against them. I get very happy when people want to know more about Japan and Taiwan because it shows me that they are very interested in my culture. And to those of you who do, thank you very much, I appreciate it very much. どうもありがとうございました This is just something I want to get off my chest, and I’m terribly sorry if I’ve offended anyone.

Japanese history and culture is very rich.

A race discriminated by morons who know nothing of it's great history and advances in technology, and are often stereotyped by bad things they have done in the past and things they currently do now, like hentai and... Other things. The Japanese are also much better than the fatass Americans who tend to eat McDonalds and laugh at the asians for having tiny eyes. Well maybe you fatasses have fricken huge eyes? Think on that for a while. They are well known for mass production of anime and manga, both of which are awesome, but read by wannabe fatasses from America and Spanish who feel the need to translate our awesome books into their gay languages instead of making their own shit to read. Idiots.

Japanese Kid: Hi there. White Kid: I hate you because you're asian, you faggot. Japanese Kid: Okay. See you when you get out of fast food rehab.

1, By far the coolest language in the world. learning the writing system requires knowledge of around 3000 characters making it at least 2x as hard as spanish, french ect. cooler sounding words and much more awesome media to enjoy once you have learned it.
