Parts of White America have decided they don’t like a Japanese woman whose English is poor telling them they have way too much shit in their homes.

As the article notes, white people telling other people to downsize and be minimalists don’t receive nearly the same kind of animosity as Ms Kondo has. In fact, they are admired and adored, even if people eventually ignore their advice.

A lot of those people probably don’t like the idea of “taking advice from the help” because unfortunately, a lot of white Americans have rather, shall we say, strongly-held stereotypes of Japanese women (and Asian people in general).
