You got the wrong idea. This is about the Japanese putting a mirror up to themselves. That's why the Europeans called the Japanese "Gaijin". An insult the real life Japan uses for non-Japanese.

Just as Britannia is not an insult of America, The EU is not an insult of Europe. This is actually about putting the shoe in the other foot.

But seriously, do you really think it is untrue that Westerns think the Japanese are suicidal crazies? What about the recent French riots of 2nd class residents, the children of migrants who were born in France but had no rights? Please, we are all black kettles here.
