I thought it was very funny.

Brilliant!

I don't speak Japanese
And when I'm on the trains, no one sits next to me.
I'm loud and drunk and rude and I don't even care who sees.
I'm a rock star here but just a loser in my own country
in my own country

[Grandpa Frank]

Saudi videos .

Funny , 9 out of 10 videos on Saudi seem to show cars drifting and running into people.Everyone seems to be yelling "Ollie's Snackbar" or something that sounds like that(joke).
The one on Japan is very clever.

And I thought most gaijin in Japan had no self-distance and didn't realize the thing thomas quoted.

I recently came across another case of "I've been MARRIED to a japanese woman for X number of years and I've LIVED in Japan etc etc..." from someone feeling a need to bash another gaijin who actually had a record contract with Universal Japan, who had self-studied japanese since the age of 13 and who played guitar since early childhood.

I honestly don't see how moving to Japan, marrying a japanese woman and using this marriage to secure work as a low grade clerk would somehow be a greater achievement in general than developing guitar and language skills as well as landing a record contract with a japanese record company. I honestly don't understand why Japan seems to attract so many sheitheads who won't even bother learning the language properly.

People see Japan as some futuristic world where one must live. Yet at the same time their egocentric nature leaves them with the belief that English is the one true language to rule them all. So instead of learning Japanese, Japan should learn English.

But English is the one true language to rule them all. And also being white is like winning a genetic lottery believe or not, and some white people do actually claim the prize of their winning by going to Eastern Asian countries where white people are worshipped.

Are you sure white people are actually worshipped in general? I think all societies have a portion of people who are extremely fascinated with the foreign and exotic and always see it as "cooler" and "more attractive".
In terms of dating, In northern and western Europe there are a certain group of women and gay guys who will only, without exception, go after middle-easterners, latinos and northern africans. Among this group both whites and asians are completely disregarded, overlooked and ignored. In Sweden everyone knows who is a "turk-mattress" and who's not.
There are also boys who are like that and will do anything to befriend immigrants. They dress in hip-hop clothes and almost exclusively hang out with immigrants, typical "whiggas". The girls will spend their lives chasing after southern men, sleeping with ANYONE as long as he's a southerner of some sort. Some of these women have higher education and try to present their relationship with for example arab or persian guys as a "respectable thing" although it is completely driven by racial-fetish and nothing else and although no one says it loud, seventy-five percent of swedish people will think when she brings her iranian boyfriend for dinner "oh, so she's horny for middle-easterners huh..." and in their heads judge her negatively for it. Even when smiling and preaching political correctness they will think "slu-t" to themselves.

I may be wrong but I have gotten the impression the situation in Japan is similar. A select group of people not representative of the population as a whole seems to have a pathological obsession with foreigners and blindly favor anything "white", but just like elsewhere there is also a majority population looking at this behaviour with criticial eyes.

If you are an iranian in Sweden, Germany, the UK or Holland you will be the KING in certain situations (night clubs, suburb schools, gay communities etc) and basically be worshipped and able to do what you please but you will still be viewed with racist eyes by a lot of people. In the case of Scandinavia and (southern) Germany probably the majority will see iranians or arabs with critical eyes. I have the impression this is the case with white people in Japan as well.

I didn't say white people are worshipped in general, I said white people are worshipped in Eastern Asia. Which is not a personal opinion but a fact. East Asians' pursue of "Whiteness" is undeniable. If you live in Asia, you should notice the amount of whitening products for women, the use of white race in beauty advertising and fashion model in Asia. The use of umbrella in sunny days to avoid a suntan and these bathsuit masks in China.

Racist? I don't know...maybe everyone is racist in some way or another, but in Asia, people are not as "politically correct" as in say America. People in Asia consciously pursue whiteness and avoid blackness. In China at least, suntan and dark skin are associated with peasant class, the labourers, the countryside and poverty, while whiteness are associated with city, class, culture and richness. A blonde and an African and at two extremies of this scale, and Han Chinese tend to place themselves in the towards the white spectrum, darker than White but whiter than say South East Asians and Africans. And because there are so many sub divisions within Han race, again it is some white further divided with Han Chinese.

On the Chinese dating TV show FCWR, some female contestants reject a male contestant and say "because he's too black (tanned)", (lol what would happen to her if she said that on an American TV show).
