    Not really related, but a couple of years ago in my home country, a Western bloke was actually pictured on the internet wearing a shirt that said something like “白人很笨” (white people are stupid).

      Some of us buy those ironically though. I had a shirt that said (and I unfortunately cannot put it in kana/Kanji atm) something very close to, in full kana and kanji: “I am a stupid American. I’ll buy anything.”

      I knee fully what it meant because the sentence was pretty easy, but I still wanted to travel to Japan wearing it.

      Well I mean it’s not wrong. Everybody’s stupid, it’s just a matter of quantity and context.
