Occidental Domination
I come from a family of such weirdos.
A paranoid argument about Chinses economic domination, as though it would have any effect on our culture other than consumption.
The words "Occidental" and "Domination" came up a few times.
Double standard much.
To me it's just proof at the invidiousness of Capitalism and White-Supremacy.
And to think that just a few decades ago this same Occidental culture tried to exterminate us.
How fickle we are.

Let's just say, apart from NZ, we're the odd ones out in the region, and we're a living reminder of the colonial past.

Paranoid is in the eye of the beholder. I don't think it was a paranoid discussion.
As for you last comment, I see you equate Nazi Germany with occidental culture?
That's quite strange...

Privy, you're saying Germany isn't part of the Occident? Or that the Nazi super-race theory isn't a part of Western civilization?
Basically... err, why do you say that?
Japan, for all that it is different from the continental Asian countries is still very Oriental, wouldn't you say? They had a super-race theory as well, you know.

The Aryan super-race theory is, what, 200 years old?
My roots, at least, are considerably older than that.
I don't understand what your point about Japan means.

In what sci-fi book/movie/series are the younger races EVER appreciate towards the older, wiser ones?

My point about Japan is that, it's wrong or at the very least mistaken, to attribute essentialist differences when the only difference between cultures... is culture and that neither are static or, you know, that different from each other... especially with globalization which is turning everything into shallow consumer-culture.
You know, last night when I said everyone here is racist and you very snippily added including you[me], you really didn't have to... obviously I'm biased towards the place in which I grew up and the culture that I live in... still doesn't mean that the "dominant" culture is better or that cultural imperialism is of the good or should go unchallenged with regard to aspects that it marginalizes.
