Emmo, I am just as vigilant as you are in routing racism, but I do not think that Pallisard's comments qualify. Pallisard's comment did not infer any superiority of his race to that of the Japanese race, nor has he advocated a policy based on such "character" traits he thinks he found. I am a Jew (as most should know from the "Jewish Turnip Farmer Almanac") and have felt on my own skin the scourge of hateful racism (I even got shot at as a 3 years old kid for the "sin"), but Pallisard comments had nothing to do with either advocating a special policy or even proposing any inferiority (or superiority) of the Japanese.

It is a fact that Japanese are quite surprised at our western notion that intellectual property is a "capital asset" and thus misappropriation of such an asset can be considered in our world, "stealing". The fact it they expect inventors to be "honored" (rather then be financially compensated) when their IP is "stolen" since it is the best compliment they can convey on an outsider that his IP was worth implementing (and here, experience is speaking).
