A bit loaded, don't you think ..... Out of curiosity, and
keeping in mind the traditional Japanese xenophobia 
(actually it's more along the lines of "we're civilized and 
the rest of the world is barbarian"), would you also add the
Japanese to this list?  Certainly they have shown little 
regard for other cultures beyond absorbing those things they
felt worthwhile?  And, I suppose, one would have to define
"culture".....
