Re:ずれますよね。
First, I know the irony of answering in English your first point. My computer can't do Japanese, but since you live in the UK, you're probably just fine with English.
I'm a half Japanese half caucasian American. I lived considerable amount of time in both nations(right now I go to a univeristy in California), and I have citizenships in both nations. I'm also fluent and knowledgeable in both cultures and languages. @日本人相手なのに、英語で話そうとする。 Define Japanese. I know Japanese-Americans who speak English because to them, it IS their native language. I know Japanese people who speak English because they've lived here so long, and they know it better.
I don't agree with enthnic thinking. If someone chooses to speak English, it's their choice. It's no one else's place to tell them that it's wrong. Just because they're ethnically Japanese doen't mean they have to speak and act Japanese. But then, that may just be the American in me talking.
Either way, "gou ni haite gou ni shitagae"(when in Rome, do as the Romans do). The overwhelming majority in America and the UK speak English. Maybe you should respect their choice of language, given that they're not exactly in a large Japanese speaking environment.
A外パクが、多すぎます。 I have never seen this. Ever. For one thing, in America, everyone's a gaijin in that there are so few native Americans. Another way is that 12% of people who live in America aren't American by nationality. But I don't see anyone here(especially in multi-ethnic California), who use the race of their date as a status symbol. I know Asians who date white girls, Hispanics that date Asian girls, Indian guys who date black girls, whatever. I myself made a pass at a half Spanish half white girl last night at my frat party(from which I'm still hung over...Popov is a NASTY brand of vodka. If any of you in America want something that goes down smooth, try Grey Goose).
I don't know how it is in the UK, but in Calfornia, the ethnic make up is so mixed that it's nothing unusual to date a girl of anther race, or a mixed race girl(there are 850,000 half white half Asians here in CA, so I don't feel so lonely as I did in Japan).
I think you're just jealous that you haven't gotten any action, so you're lashing out at those smooth British guys. Racist stereotyping is never good, and that's what you're reducing yourself to.
