And your statement is still wrong. It's a CULTURAL OBSERVATION. In spite of the aberration of the idiots with the Sarin gas in the subway, Japan's crime rate is admirable in relation to many countries (and no, I'm not going to bother to Google it to recite it for you.) The reason is cultural, not racial.
However, I wish you'd define a racial stereotype for me. If I said, "Most Africans are darker than most WASPs," is that a racial stereotype? How about if I said some types of surgery are more difficult on blacks? (And yes, I have an answer ready for that one.)

I would answer that if your response had any chance of being pragmatic, and if it had anything to do with my previous statements.
Since that is not the case, you will have to troll elsewhere.
