It's sad what happened in Japan and everything like that but I feel like it's getting more attention than when similar stuff happened in other countries. Alot of Americans seem to have this image of Japan like it's the closest thing to heaven on earth. (Thanks to anime) The reality is most Japanese are VERY xenophobic and they probably wouldn't react the same if something happened to us like this. Just sayin.
I don't entirely agree....there's a few reasons why the events in Japan are so newsworthy. First of all, it is the 7th largest recorded earthquake in history...and the other 6 didn't strike anyplace near as crowded as Japan. Then to top that off, there's the damage at the nuclear plant. Yes it has got quite a bit of attention, but so did the Haiti earthquake...as well as the 2004 tsunami. And now the events in Libya are starting to overshadow Japan in the news a little over a week later.

Well, Japan is a people group who all look alike and gather in the same small island. I can't really blame them for being xenophobic. My aunt is Korean, and my grandmother (who adopted her) tells me of stories of where my aunt would scream as a baby in horror upon seeing a black man. She wasn't racist or nothing, poor kid, she was 18 months+ at the time, sick with all sorts of crazy flues, and didn't even know English that well. She had just got used to white people though, and wasn't expecting too many other skin shades to show up in front of her.The reality is most Japanese are VERY xenophobic
Believe it or not...

Apparently the earthquake shifted the Earth's axis or something.
