Japan's FM Aso raps ‘blond’ envoys in Mideast

Reuters, Associated Press and Japan's own newspaper Mainichi Daily News yesterday reported Japan's gaffe-prone and rather ethno-nationalistic foreign minister Taro Aso as saying that 'blond, blue-eyed Westerners probably can’t be as successful at Middle East diplomacy as Japanese with their yellow faces' and "Japan is doing what Americans can’t do". The Japanese government, which is now being encircled by an arc of Japan's WWII sex slaves from China to the Korean Peninsula, Taiwan, the Phillipines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia seeking for justice, has reportedly come to Aso's defence. Aso's capability assessment on the 'black-skinned' human beings is, however, not immediately known.
