The articles point is that most of the crapping has a strong racist flavor. Which sounds plausible, if not yet statistically demonstrated.

Certainly there are plenty of closet racists and 1/2 racists being drawn out by Ms Kondo.

My opinion is that people reach for whatever stick is handy when they want to be cruel to someone. Often it's gender, race, appearance, etc. But that's not racism--it's being an asshole.

Racism is "I won't watch your show because you're Japanese."
