So you base them on Japanese people who live outside of Japan. Japanese who live outside Japan are different, they are more open minded.
My opinion is based on living there, having Japanese friends (both male and female) who have lived outside Japan and mostly who lived in Japan all their lives.
You can't make an informed opinion on a culture if you never lived there.
