You're way off base man, sorry to say.
Students here don't follow their teachers, that's all there is to it.
I've never once met a Japanese person who believes Japanese people are better than others, in fact Japanese people have massive insecurity issues and admiration issues towards the US.
Maybe back in WW2 things were like you said, but not even close now, not even among older Japanese people who might have received that kind of education.
