Former Sony Exec Thinks Company Shouldn't Be Run By "A Foreigner"

During a recent seminar, ex-Sony exec Koichiro Tsujino had a few choice words about how Sony is currently being managed. He expressed concerns about Sony being innovative at one point in its history, but said they haven't kept up with technology or given upstart projects ample time to develop. And then he gets pretty xenophobic.

Referring to current Sony CEO Howard Stringer, he says that Sony "should never have been run by a foreigner." He didn't elaborate on this statement, instead saying that further discussion on the topic could get him in trouble. Tsujino's attitude reminds me of these dudes (go to 0:35).
