I found this to largely be a cultural thing with the Japanese. Japanese are extremely proud of their work and to mention ANY kind of mistake or improvement is tantamount to insulting their mother. Of course there are exceptions but this is the general attitude they bring to work.
- dmbaggett 13y agoThis is how I interpreted it as well. I was not offended by his reaction; perhaps I should have noted that in the piece.
- raverbashing 13y agoI understand you weren't offended. It's just that he was putting his pride before the work. Also, yes, I know this may be more common in Japanese people, still I didn't want to associate it with the stereotype since I've seen it in lots of people (and why not, maybe even with me), with several different backgrounds.
