But I can't. I just know it's in their culture to be xenophobic. Maybe it has to do with its treatment in the past from imperialist britain. *shrug*
nope we never had anything to do with japan there was no money to be made, it's china we were intrested in. Infact the only western interferance on japan was by the USA in 1901 when the american navy shelled tokyo harbour in an effort to force Japan to trade with america, an act for which the japanese saw pearl harbour as revenge.
