Wow, maybe scale it back to sanity levels.
You sound insulted that a holywood version of a 30 year old japanese film made more money than a small foreign film with a tiny budget, that was released when the industry was smaller and otherwise forgotten. Just get over it. Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid was directly inspired by Snake Plissken, a character in Escape from New York. Does that make Kojima a thief? Of course not.
Tarantino isn't a thief. He made his own version of a japanese movie. He never claimed it was his own idea. He never claimed his script was straight from his own head. He's not hiding behind anuthing. He continuously gave credit where it was due. He never stole anything. In fact he's actually made a special effort to take a lot of the lesser known japanese films that inspired him, and re-release them in the US.
P.S. The fact that other people agree with you doesn't make your statement any more true - it's a logical fallacy. A lot of people agree the earth is flat, but they're still objectively wrong.

both characters are not comparable. The one is a warlord making chaos while snake is an agent using stealth. Define foreign? American Hollywood movies are all foreign to me.
I just think people should be more aware of things like these

Right, so what more is Quentin Tarantino supposed to do besides cite his sources, encourage people to watch it, and go out of his way to get more of this more obscure movies he loves available to audiences around the globe?
I mean he's literally trying to spread awareness of these movies, and here you are calling him a fraud. You're acting like your own worst enemy.
