Though I am Louise fan first it is painful to look at what they do to Siesta in anime.
Well, I'm native Japanese and i DO feel a strong link with other native Japanese that I meet in the states which opens up opportunities for communications to improve relations with that person, not just on a superficial level...so I wouldn't discount that right away. A good number of my native Japanese friends would say the same as well.

The sheer number of Japanese expats, when compared to those of other asian nationalities is quite low so, you start off with a rare(er?) commonality with other natives.
