Seisho Seisho comments

The problem of Gaijin is that they think they understand Japanese but most of time it is in wrong way and only looking things from gaijin point of view. When you see other culture you got to move your point of view pararel to the object. Someone mentioned about low paid, you better be serious since most of English teachers in Japan are NOT really teachers. Gaijin is lazier statement of the writer is extremely correct. It is definitely not because of the pay, I believe anyone would get higher motivation if the pay is higher, no matter if they are Japanese or gaijin. As you can see on that comments, most of time I have experienced and seen the hypocritical and self-justifications from gaijins unfortunately, excuse me for generalization but I would say 95%of them in small or big contexts. They tend to seek the reason or fault always outside of themselves with blinded self-justification, the problems are always outside them and try to change others but not themselves see the history even what is happening now. I would like to mention ANY japanese use the term 'gaijin' with discrimination intended. It is simply means: Caucasian, Black, Middle eastern and etc (non-asian) It does not also mean outsider as most of you often think. I would say, untill being able to speak its local language fluently you dont even know half of it. The trick is that you think you know, most of westerners get trapped there, as people from English speaking countries naturally tend to be extremely bad at profoundly understanding different customs and value in different culture. I would recommend to study harder and at least try to make your point in Japanese before you pretend that you know something about it. Maybe you should go back to your own countries and work in some corporation and come back, see the level of responsibilities. Well, only if you can land those kind of jobs..;)
