That definitely sounds like it did not sell well outside of Japan.
This article seems to confirm that, but still calls it a hit?

Sounds like it might be enough to keep them doing localizations. I guess that that is a win.

‘Long Time, No See’ Is Considered Offensive, Non-Inclusive Language at Colorado State University
Um. . . ok well my kid certainly won't be going to this college if the staff are focusing on the phrasing of greetings rather than teaching. . .

Is the college being so offensive as to claim that bad grammar implies someone is Asian. What a bunch of racist turds.

And using y'all (which is pro-Latin) slang is okay, but not the correctly neutral "you guys"? WTF

Apparently that implies that Winnie the Pooh was actually Asian, as TTFN uses the same grammatical flow?
Is Colorado State claiming that all Asian language constructs are poorer than Western ones? If not, how is something that, at a very long stretch, flows kind of, maybe, sort of, like something that someone from somewhere in Asia maybe might have said once in English supposed to be offensive? Would actually speaking in another language be offensive?
Honesty, the phrase isn't offensive in the least, but in order to find it offensive to someone, you'd have to be a pretty severe racist.

The biggest question would be, is this real news? This is so absurd, seems like to be fake.

Scott, are you saying that any and all accents could & are racist due to how people learn language and thus speak differently?

Because everyone today needs to be a special fucking snowflake and get offended at everything because they have nothing better to do. It took a bunch of oversensitive douche canoes to come up with phrases like "micro agression". Watch all of South park season 19 if you enjoy laughing at such fuckery.
