Are these students on the Japanese version of the American H1B program, where they're supposed to learn a trade but are really underpaid sweatshop workers?

Because in 1991 they interviewed nice spoiled hakujin exchange students, and now they're interviewing poor brown or Asian exchange students? Most sweatshop workers probably work harder than most gaijin doing "high-finance" jobs in Tokyo, and they're supporting the Japanese economy by doing the shitty three-K jobs that young Japanese refuse to do anymore.

cstaylor wrote:Yeah, except "some" is anecdotal, and that there's no correlation between "hanging with American friends" and the group that wants to continue studying in Japan.
