These caricatures are incredibly offensive, and somehow I doubt you'd find a single Japanese person to defend them if that black guy was replaced by a bucktoothed yellow guy with coke-bottle glasses and a pudding-bowl haircut. It's people who make excuses for such inexcusable behavior who give Japanophiles a bad name - stop defending offensive racial stereotypes by hiding behind accusations of "oversensitivity" and "political correctness".

Well, too bad, 'cos I'm not. They're cariacatures! In SAFETY POSTERS! If they were in war propeganda or some sort of hate group's literature I'd say there was rascist intent, but it's a SAFETY POSTER for crying out loud!

But this IS the most detailed discussion I have seen about what to do before and during the Big One. Wish the city gov't would finally wise up, though.

And the white gaijin have blonde hair, and the locals have squinty eyes and black hair. Big friggin' deal. I did notice the blackface character depiction, though... whether or not that's a coincidence I do not know (and you probably don't, either). I like what JP did with this, though. :lol: Yeah, I saw the pictures. And the white gaijin have blonde hair, and the locals have squinty eyes and black hair. Big friggin’ deal.
