As a slightly older Japanese generation who used to think our country
is practically a part of west (sense of cold war or G7 values or so),
I really don't like the attitude that overemphasizing 'cultural difference'.

I remember back in 80s, there were so many 'culture' talking that
intended to led 'THEY are different from US, so WE should take
DIFFERENT TREATMENT toward THEM' thought.
These 'cultural difference' talk was used as a cover of racism.

Humans are not that different.
