> I think you do know exactly nothing. What you believe you do know may be completely wrong since you have no first hand experience and read things filtered through the cultural biases that exist in each of us
So that applies to you and your view too, right? Or is it only other people's views?
> and when applied to another culture, finds ways to on the one hand exoticize it, on the other to denigrate it and it's people.
That's an extremely presumptuous and arrogant statement to make.
As if that was the only possible kind of response.
And speaking of my case, I have known many Japanese people and have like them a lot, and I like a lot about Japanese culture. I am half Asian and hardly exoticize the place or culture
I'm glad that, despite earlier saying otherwise, you're acknowledging that it's possible your view may be wrong and that what I'm saying may be correct.
