I'll say it's a kind of stereotype when automobiles were first introduced in China, here's an example:Mr Color wrote:

No. It was not a stereotype. Japan's cars majorly focuses on agility and speed, so it would be less durable when compared to other cars.B-52 wrote:

German car (Probably the most popular German model in China back then, might be the most popular model overall as well)
Japanese car (made by Chinese manufacturer when it's sold in China, and it was quite popular)
That's basically where the stereotype comes from.
Well the difference of durability is not so huge now, thanks to the high-tech materials, so Japanese cars don't need to be built like a tank to get high durability, that's why I'm saying it's a kind of stereotype.Apex wrote:

What he's saying is that German cars are fast because of their 8+ cylinders, turbochargers, superchargers, etc., while Japanese cars are fast due more to their light body weight, so they can go super fast with only a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine (Mitsubishi Lancer Evo) or turbocharged 6-cylinder engine (Nissan GT-R).Tanzklaue wrote:

My experience with Japanese people are kind of polarised and you may find it hard to believe. I'll say it anyway since imo one learns more from analysing negative comments rather than compliments.
A huge number of Japanese students I met in Australia dislikes social interactions with people of other Asian cultures; some are so extreme that they even refuse to talk to other Asians in the same class. I don't know if that can be called "conservative" anymore but it's not quite racist (except a few extreme examples).
Having said that, I know a small number of Japanese people who really enjoys mingling with everyone and they're great friends too. So it's like seeing two extremes with nothing in the middle...
EDIT: Forgot to add that through my observation, Japanese people are generally very polite towards white people (some to the extend of showing fear). So if you're of Caucasian appearance then chances are you'll never encounter any "rude" Japanese lol

The question is pretty complicated because it relates to ideologies of Japan and what people are experiencing as they grow up. I feel kind of uncomfortable saying that I like or dislike people because of that. A somewhat extreme example: human rights in Nigeria are appalling, so people brought up there soak up those values; I wouldn't say that I dislike Nigerian people by default because of that. I suppose the issue I have with the question having the implication of tying culture and heritage directly to individuals.
That being said, I don't have any Japanese friends, I can't speak Japanese competently and I have never been to Japan, though I imagine this is true for most people in the thread. Anything I see from Japan is second hand, so largely entertainment media and news coverage, so not exactly extremely reliable. An issue I imagine a lot of Westerners would take with Japan is to do with how harsh the law is on recreational drug use, cannabis being the main offender. Imprisonment/deporture for that is obscene. Some quick research also found that the antidepressant I take (which has been extremely helpful and without the side-effects I got from fluoxetine) has only been approved for use in Japan since 2011 despite being approved since 2002 in the US, so I would be kind of worried about medicine in general in Japan.
I also love gaymers.

I think of these Japanese people that they're polite, responsible, friendly, hospitable and creative even they can be easily embarrassed.
I also have a Japanese friend in real life and she is being always nice to me.
i'll gonna emphasis on that bolded text, yup some Japanese people are a bit xenophobic. Even there are many Ethnic minorities in the country,i dont really know what's really goin on there. more info on this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_issues_in_JapanYuu-Chii wrote:
On another note: Some Japanese people actually do have a bias against foreigners
actually i take that back because I sometimes catch myself judging based on someone's race/nationality

Mr Color wrote:
Japanese people in general seem very polite, abiding by the rules and ready to help.
There's a huge difference with western people though : I feel that Japanese people try to not be noticed, be loud, or stick out in general, when westerners like to stand out and show off if they can.
I also feel like there's always a bit of xenophobia from Japan. It looks like a very welcoming country to visit, but I feel that you can't ever integrate the society because you are not born Japanese. It also explains why no Japanese players ever come to English speaking channels, waxman obviously being the exception :p
It's very different from the western culture. I hang out on English channels and communities and it's not even my first language, and I don't even share the same culture, yet I feel like I am a part of the community, and I definitely didn't feel like a stranger when I went to the US.
Although the language barrier is hard to overcome, I wish more Japanese people would talk with us in English channels.
Japanese people try to not be noticedthey always be notice everytime...
