"And here comes the first of my problems, almost universally in Japan if one criticizes or wishes to discuss some element of Japanese culture as a foreigner you are greeted with cries of “Why do you hate Japan?” and “If you don’t like it leave”. There is precious little room for any discussion and more often than not an impasse is reached with the statement “This is Japan. This is how WE do things”. This isn't exclusive to Japan. I've found English and American people with the same shitty inability to take criticism.
