That was one comment by an anonymous source. I've worked for several years at a Blood Center in California, was born in Japan, and could donate blood. Blood donation regulations vary from city to city, state to state in the US. I'm not saying that person's claim was incorrect for his area--but there's probably more to it than just what was posted. It's best to take any information got from the 'net with a boulder of salt, consider the source, cross-reference, etc..
