I'm curious what kind of personal experience you had in Japan that made you think that Japanese think they are "the cream of the whole crop." Care to elaborate?

There's no one experience, just a lot of late night conversations with copius amounts of substance abuse with Japanese rafting guides. A lot of talk about the structure of Japanese society, the attitude to outsiders, the view of other races, etc. It was all very enlightening stuff and I was always careful to not talk about any of it with them in the light of day as it made them very uncomfortable.

I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, but I hope someday you'll go to Japan and live there for a while. I'm sure then you'll have different perspective of Japan, good and bad.
