The methodological reasoning for conducting the interviews that follow is two-fold: first, secondary sources on the exact subject of study are not terribly plentiful. More importantly, for this particular type of study, over-reliance on books and research papers written by outsiders would be imprudent at best.
For these reasons, over the course of approximately three weeks a total of nine personal interviews were conducted with Japanese college students - who for privacy's sake shall be referred to only by first name -- currently studying in the area.

(Original web version: It's high time someone blew the whistle on all the silly prattle about revamping our language to suit the purposes of certain political fanatics. Most of the clamor, as you certainly know by now, revolves around the age-old usage of the noun "white" and words built from it, such as chairwhite, mailwhite, repairwhite, clergywhite, middlewhite, Frenchwhite, forewhite, whitepower, whiteslaughter, oneupuwhiteship, straw white, whitehandle, and so on. There is nothing denigrating to black people in being subsumed under the rubric "white"-no more than under the rubric "person. " But Niss Moses would have you sit up and start hollering "Racism!
