      Japan barely tolerates American tourists.

      Definitely not a Japan thing; that’s common. I think it’s more appropriate to say that Japan, in general, is quite insular.

      India is the same in its own way, though. Indians have their own internal xenophobia with prejudice toward skin colour, working tier, where in India you’re from. So, really, the two have a lot in common.
