Racism and Discrimination in H.K.
Spoiler (highlight text to read):
Okay, so the boys expect to get an American boy in their class, and what do they hope for? All state: "Oh a Blonde and Blue Eyed boy is coming!" WHAT?!
Is this what they think of America as being? How stereotypical! I mean, what the heck!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.
I was like "WTF...."

I think they have Americans confused for Europeans hahaha. I have loads of really white friends, and when I say really white, I mean true Americans from like generations after generations, and hardly any of them have blonde hair.... Now my Irish and german friends seem to have blonde hair the most. As for the eyes is mostly green and brown and not really blue. I think this is the reason why it says at the beginning of the drama to "please forgive the foolishness of this drama as is fictional" cause wow if thats their view have of Americans they in for a shocker hahaha.
Sorry if it sound racist for you but THAT IS the image of peopne from North america, because ven if is true that now a lot of you aren't blond and blue eyes thats the kind of people we all see trough your television, Besides your nation was stablish for the British so is normal to think that you that come from that first people to go to your country will look like that as well. And isn't kinda hipocrit for you to talk about steriotipe people when Americans are the first to do that? I mean I'm latin but I've to get use to the idea the what most of the people now about latin is burritos and Tacos, and not only in your country but in the rest of the world as well, but I know that because Mexican culture is so strong in North Ameria is just normal to think that way. If you wanna talk about discrimination how about you calling only your self Americans when all the people living in America (and I mean the continent) are americans as well. So please don't come with all of that crap when you don't even know what kind of image your own country projects of them self.
And About H.K I was soooooo scared after reading the previuos potst that say all of that, but I find it cute and amusing, I don't know what people expected, I did lafth and love how Oguri and the rest of the cast looked on it (maybe the head ot the 3 dorm looks little to old to be palying a high shooler) and Maki look cute as a boy too. An even so the change many thing you can still see a lot of the original work on it, besides you can't actually waite that they will do exactly as the manga cause this dramas are only 11 or 10 episodes long! it will be inposible, and is was the same in HYD, but it remain the base of it wich is good!
