Agreed. Quite a bit of casual racism, among other things.

If you're just going by that video, I can see why you might think so.

But he has a lot of respect for Japanese products in general, because they are well engineered and manufactured. And a lot of the stuff for sale these days in Norte America is very cheaply made, and he really doesn't like that.

That video isn't unique in that way. I do enjoy his channel, but he's not afraid to let his racist/sexist flag fly.

Now you're making me question how much I should tolerate that sort of thing. Where is the line between "he's just joking around, he's not really serious" vs. "deep down he really believes this". Am I just too complacent? I'll have to think about that.
People who don't believe those kinds of thing deep down tend not to make jokes like that.
Same! If you figure it it, please let me know.
