Japan's fans aren't the only ones who'll be confused, though. Refer to SYUTK's response above. There are plenty of English-speaking fans outside of the USA who won't understand what's so wrong with calling the male help "boy".

I disagree... I'm sure quite a few understand it as a way to assert superiority... but not the racist undertones. Personally I don't find it racist but immensely disrespectful to direct at your elders/peers as it asserts only your own experience mattered.

I think that interpretation should translate easily to any culture that has reverence for the elderly.
