But this sorta thing happens in all mediums, I mean, cartoons in America make fun and cheap shots at Canada sometimes. And usually portray Japanese or rather Asian peeps as overly polite but also very strict. I enjoy watching Americans portrayed in anime though, like the 3 stooges in Squid Girl haha, or Bandit Keith in Yugioh..

Oh yeah, and with a strange voice. Anyone see the video with the Japanese dub of a black guy sounding like a wimpy white kid? It's hilarious.

That poor person would be bitch slapped in in instant! BTW. Why do almost all anime characters look like westerners anyway? Westerners that live in Japan and speak Japanese.. wtf? Mukokuseki, it's a thing
