now that i understand the issue, i think they have a right to be angry.

if people just got up and started doing a native american dance used for intense battle, or something, they'd probably be angry too.

however, i think it's not that it's being done, but the fact that Japan wasn't respecting their requests of talking things out first before doing it.

and also, you're all aware of japan trying to crack down on sushi making around the world, right? they want it made the "correct, japanese way"--and they wan't to make (or have made?) a certification process for places making sushi.

similar in terms of protecting something which some people might find stupid.
