There is also a form of liberal imperialism the United States imposes on other nations as regards it toxic and corrosive culture. A case in point is the recent Miss Japan who won her crown and is going to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. She is the first biracial Japanese women to win the crown, her father was black (I suspect an American GI) and her mother Japanese.

So what is the "toxic and corrosive culture" you're venting about?
The fact that a Japanese woman and a black man (maybe an American) had sex? Oh Noes!!
Or is that Japan has selected its first bi-racial female "Miss"? In this sense, it seems that the Japanese are taking their steps to culturally enter the 21st century, nothing toxic or corrosive, IMHO, there.

You think this beautiful young woman won her title because the US imposed it's will and forced the Japanese to vote for her?

She won for two reasons, assclown:
Pageant contestants receive votes based upon their appearance, talent and how they answer questions asked by pageant officials. To insist that she was chosen because she's biracial and the US imposed it's demands on Japan is a tremendous insult to Japan, the US and Ariana Miyamoto in particular.
As any pageant contestant will tell you, they work their asses off. This wasn't handed to her based upon race.

What about the recent influence American god botherers had in Uganda inciting the government there to enact draconian anti homosexuality laws?
Or the lax gun controls that are being used to fuel a drugs war on the Mexican border.
I don't think much of his example, which is nothing but racism, but I do believe that American culture can, and often is, detrimental to other cultures it comes into contact with.
wait, wait, i see the corrosion of cultural imperialism! Japan held a beauty contest. those are a culturally western, even American, invention!

Why? Are you scared that if people see an attractive mixed race contestant then all other whites will collectively decide to reject other whites for potential partners and court other ethnicities instead? If they did, you'd still have to face the question of so what?
Confused?
