Before speculation begins, I believe this is a genuine appeal. Both individuals named are real people. Whether forum members here believe their project is worthwhile or not might, of course, be open to discussion but I think we should be ready to treat this as a serious request.

I hereby volunteer Mr. Charisma himself, Oklahoma to be the point man....

That's not anglo-saxon? Maybe not, but I forget whatever ethnicity I'm meant to be - Caucasian?

What you wrote makes about as much sense as writing Irish (Bulgarian/Swedish).

Interesting posts.

I wonder if anyone else here has experienced the "Reverse Charisma Man" effect, where you have far more success back home than in Japan?

In my case, living in a hick town doing research in an environment with 99% male nerds, meeting women casually was a serious problem in Japan. The only options were bars (skanky/loud) and full on nanpa (pisses 99% of women off).

I think Charisma man died out with the NOVA English teacher.

Well, I suppose he could be of Irish nationality but be of recent immigrant anglo-saxon stock or be a descendant of one of the colonists that planted themselves in the north since the cromwell days (aka "protestant" in media code). But that's about as Irish as Debito is Japanese.

They asked for ethnicity, not nationality. I think what they want to know is race. You know, white, black, Asian, or other.

FWIW, ethnicity and race are not the same thing. There are many different ethnicities possible within each "race". Ethnicity is a cultural distinction, describing a group of people with the same traditions, language, etc. For example, "Japanese" or, indeed "Irish". Race is a biological distinction, usually grouping people based on skin color, hair texture, facial/cranial features, etc. Example: Asian or Caucasian. Race as a concept is clearly on the wane as science learns more about human biology.

So I think people should answer the ethnicity column by what group they identify with. This could be Canadian, Australian, African-American, Kenyan, Irish, Chinese, Thai...whatever.

I know the difference. I'm just not sure what they actually want. Canadian or Australian are certainly not ethnicities and Anglo-Saxon is neither Irish nor Austrian.

Congrats.
As to the OP, if this shit is what is passing for "research" at universities nowadays then (insert rolling eyes smilie here).

Congrats Gomi.

Speaking of Charisma men, where the hell is Greji? Thought he woulda been all over this.

Congratulations GG!

I'm a little surprised that you had to come all the way to Japan to find an Australian bloke, but that's the luck of the draw I guess!

Anyway, nicely done.
