So basically the only thing to look forward to in Japan is sex?


Truthfully, I stopped watching this show simply because whenever Bourain goes to more ethnic countries like Palastine or the black parts of South Africa, or Native American parts of the USA, he shows this annoying disinterest which almost seems deliberately racist, yet in more "white" cultures he always seems so enthusiastic and engaging. It annoys me.

But I decided to tune in again for this one episode just because I really am interested in Japanese culture, but this episode was such a disappointment. I understand covering the sexual side to Japan for one segment, but almost everything he covered was sex based. It was a real turn off. The only part that wasn't sexualized was the interview with the sushi chef and the martial arts demonstrations. I mean you'd think that Japan is an overly sexualized culture from the way the episode was portrayed.

Anthony is not a racist, give me a break. Maybe its you who is racist against white society. Europeans cities in general are more interesting than African cities, that isn't racist but just the truth.

He's just as patronizing and rude to "White" cultures as well. He is a boring judgmental pr!ck who manages to find the worst in every place no matter how beautiful it's image is.

Sometimes a movie or tv show plot is so stupid that only the stupid can understand it.
