When I heard that comment about Fez, I knew it wouldn't be too long before SOMEONE criticized you for daring to buy it because THAT GUY IS A RACIST BWAAAAAAH. And I was right: fourth comment in and it has already started.
Seriously people, the guy that made Megaman said the exact same thing... and he's JAPANESE. Guess he must be racist too huh?
Saying that most modern Japanese games suck is not racist. The guy that asked Fish the question got an honest answer, one which you can debate freely: I personally think that there's a lot of awesome stuff that comes out of Japan. But saying that Fish is racist because he has an opinion you don't like or agree with adds nothing to the discussion.
You mean Keiji Inafune? He didn't say the same thing; he said the Japanese industry was falling behind and offered reasons why. All Fish said was, "I'm sorry, Japanese games industry, but your games are f*cking terrible."

"I'm sorry Japanese guy! I was a bit rough, but your country's games are f*** terrible nowadays."
Though I don't care too much about him or Fez, it baffles me that he says this despite copying Cave Story's art style and pretty much every 80's platformer that came out of Japan. Even the whole perspective shift was lifted straight from other games.
