But I avoided using "American" intentionally and instead used English, because Japanese players don't know the difference between Euros speaking English and Americans speaking English. So their hate isn't aimed at America, it's aimed at anyone that speaks English.

    No, I don't blame Japanese gamers on XI/XIV for hating English gamers. Just the other day I was watching a podcast of someone that went over to Japan to teach English and the first thing he noticed was how incredibly racist (nationalistic) they are and how much of a surprise it was to him.

    We can argue the world hates America, because it does. We can also argue that everyone is racist in one way or another and nobody is safe. But that wasn't my point at all. People (especially on these forums) have this huge misconception that Japan is the shining example of a social paradise where everyone loves each other, they respect anyone regardless of where they are from, and everyone should follow in Japan's footsteps. This cannot be more wrong.
    When you're the best people hate you, happens everywhere.

    Kind of an arrogant thing to say, but for what it's worth I agree.

    Don't even start it bro. The Japanese were far from angels during WW2.

    On topic: I completely agree with OP. Force them to play with us. As xenophobic as they are, it's fun to have them around and if the auto-translator was just a bit more up-to date it would be even easier to communicate.

    Will you say the same thing when China takes over as the world's super-power? You do realize that is inevitable right?
