 * I do not understand what the hours he supposedly spent at school or practicing really has to do with information about Hiroki Kuroda. Especially when it links to an article which only uses Kuroda to attack Japanese culture and Japanese baseball. Take the article on another random player, David Wright. It says where he went to school, who went went to school with, and his batting average in school. For another example, take the Japanese language article for Kuroda himself which mentions a whole lot more about his high school days than this article and yet still doesn't mention it. There is a very consistent anti-Japanese theme on English Wikipedia across all mediums, and removing this dog whistle from the article would do at least a small service to combatting that.
 * The only reason this exists in the article is to get people to click on that NY Times article link, and say "Man the Japanese really are backwards and awful, aren't they, I would hate to live there." It serves no other purpose, and doesn't give any info about Kuroda which is actually meaningful. 129.170.197.122 (talk) 16:54, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, I understand this is quite serious, considering the weight that racism may have on a neutral encyclopedia like this. I was wondering if you could clear up exactly which detail is offensive and why, so we can discuss and reach a consensus on this. Personhumanperson (talk) 20:02, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
