Coping with Jap Kids.
Interesting tales of an American, black, male working as a middle school teaching assistant in Japan.

Very amusing, Bruce. And he's actually telling the truth. I went on the site and read some of his other "editorials." I used to teach at a college that had a considerable foreign exchange program with Japan in the summers. I used to dread the months of June- August, knowing all the Jap exchange students would show up then. Polite? Reserved? HAHA! Think again! They traveled in packs like hyenas, creating a swath of disruption and chaos in their wake. They'd come into the library and ask questions in Japanese - a language I have never studied or made the smallest pretense of knowing. Then they'd act disgusted and arrogant when I told them I couldn't understand what they were saying. I could understand this arrogance if it had been ME at a Japanese school where I was supposed to be learning Japanese, but not the other way around. The best of all was that sometimes pack members would come in on their own and speak to me in flawless English. I guess it was their way of getting back for Hiroshima. Don't ask me.

Toyota and Sony are their way of getting back at us for Hiroshima.
