im not arguing that the japanese beliefs that they are superior to everyone has to do with the forced US troops after ww2 thats its own seperate thing thats why i linked it at the top
and the rental thing is based of that yes but its also has a lot to do with taht when the troops came over they didnt follow those rules and when people tried to communicate to them to follow those they either refused or played dumb which reinforce the westerners are dumb and can never fully follow the rules and why we are babied over their.
Oh i know i mean i did spend time in both city and rural japan and definitely saw the difference of when i had a japanese friend with and when i was alone but as a whole in the city i saw a lot less of being discriminated against for things. again i think it has a lot to do with they already see themselves as superior and then couple that with the occupation force and its unwillingness even today to adapt to social norms of japan makes it what it is today. They still are having problems with the US soliders that live in japanese neighborhoods actually following japanese social protocol and being their loud rouwdy drunken asshole selves and its very frustrating to japanese people.
Also i know what nationalist movement you are refering to and they are very loud and have gained some membership but its also a very old and very very very conservative japanese group and by no means represents the country as a whole or even close. i mean dont get me wrong their is certainly a sentiment of japanese are superior to everyone but its more along the lines of the US we are #1 at everything theirs just tends to focus on the mono culture that the us never really had
