The crappy thing about Japan, no, Asia herself, is the division within it. You would think that if it's only a matter of appearance then Japan's insecurity with immigration would be solved by letting in other Asians, but ever since WWII even speaking of Pan-Asianism is taboo (Greater Co-Sphere of something whatever).
America has a really healthy attitude, despite whatever one thinks. There's no such thing as an "American" name. At one point Irish names were considered Irish names, now they're really common and acceptable in America. Eventually the same thing will happen with Indian names, Chinese names (they already are pretty much), and Spanish names (again, they pretty much are already).
I think Americans have too little pride. I think it's unfair that the world has so much anti-Americanism. I mean, I guess I'm being a little bit hypocritical since I think it's stupid to be ashamed/proud of one's country, but it's just depressing hearing Americans constantly joking "Yeah, we're fat dumbasses", especially young kids in High School and college.
I think that if we start by changing the perception of America and Americans first, then that depiction/perception will become the role models, and eventually Americans themselves can change into the ideal they dream of.
