As a counterpoint to the various race-mixing propaganda threads, let's focus on a similar phenomenon in one of the more Judenfrei corners of our planet.

A kids' apparel shop in Harajuku, not far from where I work.

An ad for a language playroom that gives Japanese kids a chance to interact with foreign kids in English at a very young age.

Apparel ad in a subway. The young man in the center was very starkly a Blasian (black/Asian) mix, it may not be obvious in the photo.

An ad for Berliz English School. When I first came in the early 90s, English school ads invariably showed white teachers. Nowadays when you meet young Americans here in any situation, Northern Europeans are usually a minority. In fact there seem to be a lot of Americans of some indeterminate race (or mix) that are unfamiliar even to me, because they uncommon in Canada, but I do see a lot of that type when I go to California. (I think the guy in the blue shirt in the ad was such a person). At any rate, advertising is increasingly reflecting what English teachers here really look like, which I think is great.

I've posted some of these already, either Burrhus's or Sudoku's race-mixing threads. I have some more to add.

There are a couple of photo studios I go past often, one near a client's office and one near my own. They both have multi-racial families among their sample works in their showcase display. The number of such photo shoots is probably a miniscule part of their business, yet they choose to display them.

Could it possibly be that showing different kinds of people happy together naturally produces warm and fuzzy feelings in normal people, even as it produces stress in the pit of the stomach for race people?

Advertising is almost entirely controlled by three very large Japanese ad agencies. Moreover, with large billboard or station or subway ads, the budgets are really big and they would not use stock photography. (Even assuming they did, for the sake of argument, they are obviously going to choose them very carefully for an optimal return).

I'm not in the biz, but spent many years at a company that received a fair bit of work from Dentsu, which is one of the largest ad agencies in the world. I even sometimes get such work now (e.g. making interactive ads in Flash, among other things) but being a one-man company I'm too low on the food chain to deal with them directly, there are layers of brokers and everyone is siphoning their cut of the budget.

That Berlitz ad certainly looks like stock photography. The language playroom looks like the kids were not photographed together.

Dunno. It may be a sign of cosmopolitan flavor. They have a flavor of American-ness, if America is what they see through imported pop culture.

Yes, it's not as if Japan exists in a vacuum. As Judenfrei as it may be nationally, it still operates in a Juden-heavy global market where its advertising is expected to, at least minimally, meet prevailing norms.

Are you posting them just to make people aware of them?

To show the fallacy in blaming Jews. (Although since I'm fine with such advertising the notion of 'blame' doesn't apply with me).

Unless, like Azimuth, you believe in Jewish omnipotence. :nuts:

Fair enough.

I don't particularly think Jews have as much of a stranglehold of the media and business in Japan as is does in the west. Japan is a very unique country in that way.

I will say however that Jews (Who own pretty much the entire media in America) still have somewhat of an influence in Japanese society, because Japanese people are EXTREMELY gullible when it comes to the media. I don't think I have ever seen any people in the whole world trust their media so wholeheartedly (Even the extremely smart ones). And really, why shouldn't they? Gaijins in the country seem to be few and far between, giving them every reason to trust authorities.

Japanese people get heaps of their media via the United States. Heck, some (Or even most) worship American TV shows and movies and all the subtle political messages they carry. So really, Jews do have a say in the way Japanese people think, imho. The control Jewish-American media owners have over the minds of some Japanese people is indirect and perhaps even unintended, but it is still there. The amount of Japanese 'rappers' appearing around Osaka is enough to make you want to vomit.


The photos of the English Schools you took, imo, are really no big deal. I mean, really, when Japanese think, 'English,' they think, 'foreigner.' It makes no difference to them whether they're black or white, and come on, it's an English school. It's something one would expect from a place you go to learn a foreign language. When you intentionally go out to learn English, you're bound to meet foreigners, right? This certainly doesn't imply race mixing and I think Japanese people 'get' this.

As for the second post, they seem to be photos in a small family portrait outlet, no? Doesn't seem to be a very big corporation.


I don't believe in Jewish omnipotence. I don't believe that 'every' Jew wants to destroy white civilization and culture, but a good chunk wouldn't lose sleep over it, particularly when nationalists around the world reject them so often.

I acknowledge that Jews are a diverse and varied bunch. Like Europeans, there are communists, nationalists, anarachists, racists and anti-racists in their ranks.

Furthermore, I also think Jews control a large majority of the English speaking worlds media and businesses. Not so much in Government, but it other, less advertised areas of power. Definitely disproportionate to the per capita of their population. Good on them for that, I guess. And these business and media owners have a large anti-racist/globalist agenda, completely supportive of free immigration.

Granted, there are some media owners that are not Jewish (For example, I believe good old Murdoch is not a Jew), but it is apparent that he is in full favour of a globalist/anti-racist agenda in his interviews.

Imo, there is not a global 'Jewish' conspiracy, merely an anti-racist/globalist one, and Jews in power are simply going along with it.

Anyway, that's my two cents on the matter.

What these pics prove to me is that Japan is being subverted by multicultural, multi racialist, Marxist types. The same way most White countries have been subverted the last 50 years. I can't prove right this minute that Jews were behind these specific advertisements posted. But with their track record, I wouldn't be shocked to find a Jew involved in this to some degree.

Even assuming this is true for the sake of argument, the client companies ordering/approving the ads are Japanese, as is 99% of the clientele.

Not to mention, little family-owned photo studios are not exactly calling up agencies on Madison Avenue for advice on what to put in their window displays. :rofl:

An advertisement for a multicultural summer camp. :eek:

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/460/sh010001small.jpg

Non in all honesty I don't know what the hell a multicultural camp is, or, given the demographics, where they would get a pool of 'vibrant' ;) young people... maybe various expats' kids? One thing I do hear a lot of is parents saying they want their kids to be 'international'. They probably don't know what that means (nor do I know what they mean by it), but the media has long been trumpeting 'internationalism' as the way of the future. Yet how can the media be doing such a dastardly thing even though they're not Jews??

Anywhoo... moving right along...

This is more for comic relief than anything... a reggae-themed ramen (noodle) shop actually quite near my house, called Yahman (as in 'yah man'). It's run by a young fellow in dreads, and his mom, a sweet cute older lady who probably doesn't know her Bob Marley from her UB40 (although being immersed in it daily she might in fact know more about it than anyone here). But yes, black musical forms have always been immensely popular here, without help from the Jews.

Most people are aware that purveying globalist propaganda is not restricted soley to Jews. Can you tell us, Harjit, the state of Japanese self-hatred and guilt? Are there many Japanese intellectuals who behave as though they detest Japanese history, culture, and heritage, like Whites are burdened with in Europe and the offshoot societies? Are there college course like Japanese Studies where the Japs are piteously scorned and demonized in pseudo scientific language? There is a lot more to Jewish cultural influence in our countries than multicultural adverts.

Japan is a very large country with more diverse viewpoints than meet the eye.

Most people who support the Social Democratic Party (ideologically similar to the social democratic parties in Europe) are into the WWII guilt thing, to varying degrees. Communist party supporters are considerably more so, but that is a pretty minor party. (Still, they are a considerably bigger than any Communist party in the U.S. and maybe much of Europe, replete with a very large HQ building in an expensive part of Tokyo).

Are there many Japanese intellectuals who behave as though they detest Japanese history, culture, and heritage, like Whites are burdened with in Europe and the offshoot societies?
For a long time the flag (Hinomaru) and the national anthem (Kimi-Ga-Yo) were considered offensive by certain groups, particularly teachers, professors, and a cross-section of the media, because they symbolized Japan's wartime actions. Many teachers refused to have their class sing the anthem facing the flag. The issues of the flag and the anthem were constantly in the news through the 90s (I was around but not paying much attention), and eventually the left lost the fight. The current Tokyo Metropolitan Government (which employs teachers in this region) is pretty right-wing, has implemented some strict rules, and has suspended some teachers for such acts.

Personally I thought the left were overreacting... I mean, in how many countries is the very flag considered offensive? :nuts: I've always said so in real life, if the topic comes up.

However I agree with you that (apart from the flag and anthem) the left here aren't as critical of Japan as white intellectuals are of the West. Which makes sense, considering Japan's colonial period only lasted from 1910 to 1945, and doesn't hold a candle to the things Europe did for centuries. WWII guilt is also tempered by the fact that Japan was nuked. Pacifism and nuclear disarmament are very central views of anyone on the left here.

Most of those on the left are also critical of the West, especially the U.S.A., and in many cases more so than they are of Japan. In contrast, conservative Japanese tend to be pro-U.S. The conservative party (the misnamed LDP - Liberal Democratic Party) is pretty neo-con, sympathizing more with Israel than the Palestinians, supporting the American wars, etc.

Are there college course like Japanese Studies where the Japs are piteously scorned and demonized in pseudo scientific language? There is a lot more to Jewish cultural influence in our countries than multicultural adverts.
I wouldn't know about college courses.

There is a large and popular (in terms of books sold) field called Nihonjinron (= Japanese Theory). It is predicated on the idea that the Japanese are just simply different from other people. How much of this is genetic, and how much cultural, depends on the particular author. Most allude to a combination of superior as well as inferior characteristics as compared to other races. A great deal of Nihonjinron revolves around capacity for English learning, and there is a vast body of navel-gazing as to why the Japanese are so poor at learning English.

One big difference between the Japanese and Westerners, which is very difficult to explain unless you live here, is that their thinking is much less black and white. A basic assumption that pertains to any topic is that there are two sides to any story, that the truth lies in the middle. Whereas Westerners tend to demand a single answer to things. This board is additionally a turbo-charged version of that.

As a non White you are within your rights to dismiss the whole of the Western peoples as complicit in colonialism and therefore ... GUILTY. From the point of view of someone outside our group it surely can appear that way. Within the group though things look much different, for those who care to reflect on it anyway, which most don't. Colonialism was essentially the market being exported outside of Europe to feed on non White cultures by destroying local trade and culture and replacing it with globalized trade. The first victims of this madness were the working classes of Whites themselves. You are aware of the Tudor enclosure laws and satanic mills of the industrial revolution no doubt. Pretty nasty stuff. After capitalism finished chewing up our traditional arrangements off it went to chew on yours. When the White working class saw some recovery from that capitalism saw fit to grind us to death in trenches and holocausted cities. Now we are faced with losing our heritage and historical identity, all for the sake of the markets.

I hardly care or think about it at all. I've only ever brought European colonization up here as a counterpoint to the unrelenting blaming of non-whites for every evil under the sun (and only occasionally, as I know squat about it... Geist and some others probably know more about the British Raj than I do).

And of course nobody blames or dismisses 'the whole of the Western peoples'. Where did you get that?

I agree with this overall.

If we may go back to topic my point was, however, that all of this (including what you wrote above) has a longer deeper history than anything Japan did to other countries (although the Japanese did pack quite a punch in a short period, as far as brutality goes). So there are simply much fewer instances of Japanese brutality in number, and in much fewer countries, to enumerate. This may explain why there is less material to study in the case of Japan than in the West. Yet even in spite of that there is considerable self-criticism in Japan.

There seems to be a fair bit of contrast between Japanese advertising and Korean advertising, based on what you've posted here. The only time you see foreigners in Korean advertising is when it's specifically foreign-related (e.g. English teaching) or when the foreign flavour is part of the sales pitch (e.g. marketing European luxury-brand items). Koreans have even co-opted the vibrant diversity buzz but transposed it into a monoracial environment. For example a while ago there was a "many faces of Korea" billboard up in the subways that had been put up my some government self-promoting ministry (can't remember exactly which one). In a Western country this would be a no-brainer: the "many faces" would have to include lots of different races ethnicities, plus a few faces wearing easily identifiable religious garb to remind you about cultural diversity as well. In the Korean version they had: male Koreans, female Koreans, old Koreans, young Koreans, fat Koreans, skinny Koreans, nerdy Koreans, macho Koreans, rural/rustic-looking Koreans and stylish/urban-looking Koreans. A bit of colour was added by using black-and-white photos but tinting the photos various multicoloured green-blue-red-orange-yellow hues, like an Andy Warhol montage. Instant multicoloured diversity!

Another thing I have to mention is how appallingly bad the level of photoshop skills are amongst Korean graphic designers. Even huge billboards in the subway that are seen by hundreds of of thousands (literally) of people each day are complete disasters: poor colour co-ordination, lazy use of the clone tool, mis-matched heads and bodies, low-resolution stock photography blown up on a giant billboard into an ugly pixelated mess (and often combined with other high-resolution elements that you are supposed to believe are part of the same scene), mismatched contrast and so on and so on. Small businesses here seem to really love having massive JPEGs (with visible compression artifacts) printed onto giant canvas banners and displayed outside their shops for months or years on end. You'd think for something as important as that they would at least make a bit of effort, but a typical example is a seafood restaurant with a stock ocean scene and the exact same tuna fish stamped 3 or 4 times randomly across the image. It's like the owner got his 15-year old son to make it in computer class. Like Scopevision-bad.
