Like what? Like locking eyes with inmates. Looking into other people's cells, bunks or lockers. There are simple things, like where you sit when you go for chow. You need to sit with your own race, or your own kind. You can be a white dude without any racist issues at all, but if you sit down at a table with five African Americans, you have the potential to really piss them off - and at the same time, white guys will wonder why you're not sitting with them. If you start talking to a correctional officer, people...

...Some of the Mr. James criticism, however, seems a little thin. One comment on Facebook says that because Mr. James wears the same clothes every day in August, it might suggest that foreigners are "unclean." If we're going to look at the clothing choices of fast-food icons, it seems fair to point out that Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders have been wearing their famous uniforms for half a century. There's no doubt that the spectacle of the foreigner in Japan is an everyday occurrence in media. A foreigner's response that he or she can use chopsticks...
