Drake to use a American in Japan reference, the Baseball players who go over
to play there are refered to a Gajin (actually all foreigners are) but it is
NOT permitted for a Gajin to break any Japanese baseball records. They will
walk them or not play them when they come close to the Sacred Japanese
records. If that is not racist, then what is?
