There are some caveats to using the cultures contents to denigrate it - crass as it sounds what if they actually really deserve it? Not to be applied as rationalization but highlighting very real failings and history. Impolite certainly but that doesn't make criticism less true or justified. Say for a few examples, Koreans would be more than justified in portraying Samurai as bloodthirsty hypocritical psychopaths given that well, they were that on their soil. Or less extreme portrayals of the infamous failures of the mandarins and how their misplaced emphasises brought ruin.
