Na wait, sorry... yeah, I have to go there. Japanese? How? What part of that makes you think Japanese? I mean, you took the time to choose a nationality, no reason you had to. What's the go?
After speaking with japanese people that´s the one I get closest to with the accent. I may be wrong though. PS: I don´t know why do you think there is a "go". That´s you assuming more than what´s to assume. Why do you think it has some other kind of implications? I´d say that you´re the one making other kind of assumption. Which is?

En serio, I don´t know how you do it but you are a treasure cove for any resource available out there

You're right, "what's the go" wasn't appropriate. I was heading to bed, it's what came to mind, I typed it and left. There are nearly 200 countries I think, if that reporter sounded Japanese to you (enough to mention it) then you haven't heard many different nationalities speak. What I'm saying is, the reporter's nationality isn't relevant, and I can't see any reason to guess at one to specify. All it suggests (Japanese or German or anything else) is that it is related to the nature of the question in this case, or even the answer. It's just my opinion, nothing more.
@Lazza You didn't care what my thinking process was regarding the nationality of the reporter. You asked why I stated that and in the next sentence you jumped into conclusions without having yet the answer. So yes, neither your tone or the intention of your post was appropriate.
I didn't expect anyone to get it that wrong. So I did wonder why. I agree I should have just waited for an answer, or just not asked. Though I still don't see any reason to state a nationality at all, so I'd have probably said something either way.
If we can lower the confrontation level to the lowest, as I think we both can, I´d say the nationality assignment was as irrelevant as it was insignificant and mistaken. I think you overanalyzed and gave it an intention it never had. All good from my side, cheers.
