Yeah very cheap. FOXCONN having to put up higher and higher walls outside their manufacturing facilities to keep their basically enslaved workers from commiting suicide. The Chinese/Japanese work ethic is basically enslavement. It is not uncommon in China for workers to just sleep at their desks instead of taking breaks. Their goods are cheap price and of cheap quality. Craftsman tools are no longer the best since they shipped the majority of manufacturing to China.
Edit: Forgot to add, the working man slave train in Japan is so insane a lot of marriages are arranged through your employer.
I still have a US made Craftsman 2 1/2 ton Hydraulic Floor Jack made in the 70's that belonged to my father, works like a charm. A friend of mine purchased one (Craftsman) from Sears last year and it took a crap within 6 months. I will vouch for Toyota but unknown to a lot of Americans most of their manufacturing is in the US now, one of their plants is even in my state.

Generalizing a whole continent with examples from 2 countries...

Anime is creepy? It's just cartoons lol. Or pehaps you mean Hentai, the tentacle kinda crap. Which I can kinda agree with, just look at all the gurth wielding rets. No one enjoys being the victim of a tentacle.
Japanese culture isn't awkward. I've been to Japan many times, taking Tokyo for example, the only thing I dislike is that I usually get sick by the time I return [this is a trait of traveling to far away places in which you don't have immunity to the strains they have, not something your friendly neighborhood travel guide will tell you], so not something Japan specific. They're very friendly, loving, colorful people. I feel like a celebrity every time I'm there. Everyone is so happy to meet you, and not because I'm American, but because they're just really nice. I go into a club, drink, dance, many girls dance with me. And there's no hidden agenda, they don't want dk like they do here in the US, you'll often find them laughing while dancing, it's really pleasant. I don't like Karaoke, but I do like watching cute girls sing so it works. I've been to Phil [Cebu/Davao], Taiwan [Tainan], Japan [Tokyo, Kyoto], and Vietnam [Ho Chi Minh City]. The only place I've ever been that beats half of those, is Russia. Perhaps Argentina too if I ever get to go there, but that's only because I really want to visit Iguazu Falls.
As for the women, I pretty much exclusively date Asians, with few exceptions to Hispanic, Russian, and a few others. The women are certainly not passive, that's a stereotype. One that was for the most part true a few generations ago, but was also true for most women of all countries a few more generations ago. As for why I date them, they tend to be more innocent than us. I for all intensive purposes, consider myself a bad bad man. The voice and smile alone of a beautiful young Asian girl is enough to make me wanna cross the galaxy in search of how to do right by her. Their qualities are highly undervalued even in their own culture, and I feel quite privileged to even notice it.
enough of the sappy stuff lol.. I doubt anyone's gunna respond about anything typed here aside from the tentacle references lawl

Japanese culture is slightly abnormal, honestly. They do a LOT of weird things.

I am only speaking on what I know, and it is not generalizing, its truth, all of this can be researched. I mention China/Japan because they're the most important, and we were talking about the manufacturing of cheap goods. I do not know much about South Korea except without the US they would be toast and they have serious internet.
More honorable mentions: Japanese are highly racist towards White's due to their culture. China has its own firewall just like Australia to filter content, but it is a lot more hardcore. The Chinese government hires people to spread propaganda all across what content is not filtered through "the great firewall". There is very little personal freedom in China, unless you're of the ruling class. China is also way overdue for their own financial crisis, when their centralized banks (since Commies) could not handle the load they created shadow banks, and now they are becoming unmanageable.

Its juvenile. Cartoons targeted for adults with sexual overtones and made to spark your imagination, coupled with excessive blood / violence and women who are intentionally animated to look prepubescent because for some strange reason (cough) a lot of fans of Anime like it that way. I obviously enjoy some juvenile things, like World of Warcraft, but Cartoons are for kids. Anime is for man children imo. I feel like half the forum would jump me for posting this lol.

Japanese people are no more weird than us lol. Each country has their own things. Media just tends to display the most weird lol. You think memes are not weird? lol
People who think Japanese are weird, are very common. But what I have noticed is that most of those people are either very dull people, or too cowardly to be themselves.
Japanese are racist against Caucasians? Japanese dislike other Asians more than anything else [this is a generalization, and not true for all, in fact, the only Asian I know that dislikes other Asians is a Vietnamese girl]. White people are extremely popular in Japan. Although, as it may be very easy to get a Japanese gf, it's not easy to get a Japanese wife. That's not due to the girl though, it's due to her family. Previous generations were more racist, but this again applies to Americans too. My parents don't exactly like Black or Spanish people, but I like both. But if you make the effort to learn their culture and language, their family is far more likely to be accepting of you, as they don't typically dislike white people for any reason other than they feel they're not very intelligent due partly to not knowing their way of life. Those Japanese that have traveled to other countries though, are more understanding of this though.

lol.. Although I am a lover of Asian women, I feel I must confess, I damn near HATE anime lol. I just don't find it interesting. But as for sexual overtones, imagination, blood, violence... Family Guy? I don't watch cartoon tv shows [I did watch Family Guy in my early 20's], but I do love cartoon movies. Toy Story for example [3D animation is still cartoons imo]. I don't think cartoons are exclusively for children. Most cartoons have jokes in them that no child would ever understand, even Spongebob. But as an artist, I'm kinda half expected to like drawings. >.<
Also, if you google Anime girl, and Anime woman, you will see a vast difference [assuming you're not a racist that thinks all Anime look the same haha]. Asian women typically look far younger than they really are, so that kinda explains the young appearance of the Anime females. But I wouldn't go as far to say that any Anime girl I've seen looks prepubescent except for those that were drawn to be children of course. Oh, I almost forgot, part of the reason for the young appearances is because in Anime, the eyes are meant to be windows to the soul. Originally copied due to some old cartoons, it was realized emotions display better with big eyes. And evil characters, tend to have smaller eyes [soulless]. You can often times tell a character's personality in an Anime by their eyes alone.
You must also take into consideration that cartoons, were originally created for adults, not for children.

There is so much love in this thread right now. It's absolutely oozing with thoughtfulness in both senses of the word. If you can't tell... /sarcasm
Seriously, can't we just accept those people who don't hurt others as they are and not judge their cultural differences so harshly? I know this is a thread meant for trolling and ignorance, but it's not too late to not seem so ignorant.
The hate for anime fans is seriously uncalled for and I expect the rabid fans to rip this place to pieces. /inbeforepoopstorm /outbeforeflamedforbeingsensable

It is almost a zero possibility for a Caucasian to move to Japan and fully integrate/be accepted by society. White's might be popular with some of the younger generation but they are not with the older generation and the one's who run the country. No, I have not been to Japan. I have just seen at least 25 documentaries regarding Japan, some of them even revolving around White's trying to integrate with society and having to deal with discrimination. A lot of what I present in my argument is also from Japanese who post on Reddit (there are a lot of them). Racism towards White's is one of the most brought up things when Japanese speak of dating. White people can be popular in China too, some businesses like to hire Caucasians as representatives of their business, but they still consider them to be less intelligent, less of a human than they are etc. You obviously have a Fetish for asian women, and that's cool dude. Though I don't have a fetish, I do have a thing for Hispanic Women (dated a Mexican, Half-mexican and a Cuban) but I will not fool myself.

It's not even hate. I have to care about something so much to hate it, I'm just sharing an opinion. Also, the Anime Fans can complain all they want, even go cry on their Tumblr and 4chan for all I care. The only thing I have even a minute sense of Hate for is the H1B Visa's being handed out to Asian's like candy, taking away opportunities from US born citizens. I feel it is unacceptable and I think it is very reasonable to feel so.

Annnd here comes the Asian haters. Not ALL of us are weirdos, just like not all American's are fat asses.... >:(

The same applies here. Younger people are more accepting of a foreigner than the older ones and we're "the melting pot". Also, there's specific kinds of people that frequent Reddit lol. I personally have never been on that site in my life aside from maybe a few times via google accidents so I can't really comment any further on that.
I also can't speak much for Chinese, aside from the fact that the few I've dated, their parents loved me. One girl's grandmother even came here just to meet me. She cooked a whole bunch of food dishes [seriously.. like, 25 bowls of different foods lol] eager to see which I liked/didn't like. It's all about the individuals, not the people as a whole. No mass portrayal is accurate for any country.
And fetish? REALLY? hahahaha. I'll assume you just didn't care to think of a better word :D It's not a fetish, just a preference. Like, if I saw one of each race at a bar, I'd be more likely to approach the Asian, but I wouldn't shove off any of the other races if they came to talk to me :P I also like Hispanics. I love accents. The fact that Asian food is my favorite is probably also a contributing factor lol. But as a guy who thinks of himself as a bad man, and doesn't wanna be, the portrayal of innocence given off by many asians, is probably the biggest selling point.
EDITTTTTTTT: you just reminded me, the visa thing. 1: by all means, send more asians to me!! why you think i live 15 minutes from disney world? gotta love disney for stock piling future wifey prospects for me lol. but more importantly, foreign asians don't steal spots in all the top universities lol. in fact, it's often times harder for them to get accepted. they're expected to be smart, and good at some instrument, yea.. even those harvard geniuses fall victim to stereotyping lol. often times they need some weird niche to get in. i know several 5.0 asians here that are going to UCF when they fully meet the requirements of the top schools in the country. 1 of which, I even know could afford to pay for the colleges entirely with ease without any need for scholarships/loans.
