Waking up to find Tokyo's governor is a racist pig is a little unnerving, especially if you are foreigner scum like me who at the first rumble of an earthquake will be out on the streets raping schoolgirls, pillaging sushi shops and torturing puppy dogs.
Yeah, I'm talking about Governor Shintaro Ishihara, who said that if Tokyo was hit by the Big One, Japanese troops should be on the alert to deal with rioting foreigners and then (later) he made a bunch of lame excuses to try and cover his ass, only to make matters worse (something about Pakistanis pushing Chinese drugs, or sumink).
If Ishihara says things like this in public then just imagine what he might spout to his pals after several beers at an izakaya: "We've gotta do something about those heroin-addicted Mongolians on Madagascan acid invading Hokkaido!"
