In June, public broadcaster NHK aired a segment to explain to Japanese audiences what was happening in the US, with the protests over George Floyd's death.
The report, in a news show aimed at younger audiences, featured an animated video depicting the protesters as grotesque stereotypes, deeply steeped in racist imagery: caricatures with exaggerated muscles and angry faces, and with looters in the background.
The reaction was largely negative - the US embassy called the segment "offensive and insensitive".

Just for informational purposes, Japan does not give a fuck about western cultural imperialists. If things offend the Americans, so much the better.

CPL Joy Downs Hart - No, I am not about offending, just if my views and opinions do offend, I don't give a fuck. Who the fuck are we Americans to tell Japanese people to change their culture to suit our delicate snowflake sensibilities? For people who are against and decry imperialism, they sure do like to utilize cultural imperialism. But why am I bothering, you are not capable of intelligent discourse, just flinging futile barbs and labels at people you have no fucking clue about.
As I said, Joy is not capable of intelligent discourse, just drive by downvotes, and labeling people here as an ist/ism.
