Hahaha, I was just reading Taro Aso's (probably the next Prime Minister) Wiki page. The guy's a complete douchebag.
Some of the things he's said:
At a meeting of the Kono Group in 2001, Aso drew criticism when he said that "those burakumin can't become prime minister," a statement directed at Hiromu Nonaka, a burakumin member of the Diet. Aso's office attempted to clarify the statements by saying that they were misunderstood.Burakumin are a discriminated minority in Japan. It'd be like an American politician saying "those blacks can't become president."
In 2001 as economics minister he was quoted as saying he wanted to make Japan a country where "rich Jews" would like to live.Paging Willco! Oh, wait...he said rich.
On October 15, 2005, he praised Japan for having "one nation, one civilization, one language, one culture and one race," and stated that it was the only such country in the world.Sieg heil!
At a lecture in Nagasaki Prefecture, Aso referred to a Japanese peace initiative, saying, "Japan is doing what the Americans can't do. Japanese are trusted [by the Middle Eastern countries]. It would probably be no good to have blue eyes and blond hair."[10] Japanese papers also reported Aso as saying, "Luckily, Japanese have yellow faces. We did not exploit, or shoot machine guns there (in the Middle East)".lawwwwllll
