Daniel is guilty of cultural appropriation


From his use of Karate, to his headband, tea ceremony, and even his little asian girlfriend, Daniel is guilty of cultural appropriation. What an imperialist bitch!

Also cultural insensitivity. He gives no regard at all to the many Japanese/Okinawans who died during the war. Miyagi has to correct him on this point.

Daniels-San's many crimes also include crimes against fashion. The guy was a one-man disaster zone. It's 30 years later and I still wonder who the hell in the wardrode department hired their blind best friend to dress him. Someone must have really hated Ralph.

Nah, if he were rich he'd be eccentric, but since he was a tank-top away from being trailer trash, he's just misguided.
