We watched some "fun" video clip in our ARW class.
One of them was about the Japanese way of eating sushi, but it wasn't true for Japanese.
That movie was actually a little bit fun for me as a Japanese who could tell that video was false and comedy.
However, I thought if the foreigner who have never been to Japan and didn't know how actually to eat sushi watch that video, they might misunderstand or think "is Japanese crazy?".
That video was about sushi, so it won't make big matter.
BUT, I'm afraid. IF someone tries to make a video which show bad and false impression about Japanese to foreigner, foreigner might get a false understanding about Japanese.
In the internet, it's too difficult to correct all video that based on false fact.
We never try to do cruel thing against whale, but some foreign advertisement show some disgusting action which never be done by Japanese.
I think there are a lot of such kind of advertisements around world.
People should be careful and shouldn't accept without enough evidence.
But Japan does hunt whales in areas where whales are protected, Japan does harpoon them, and Japan does electrocute them. That is the reality of whale hunting and why it is in the video.
