Some cultures are superior to others in the same way that some people are stronger or smarter than others. To deny this is to deny fundamental reality.

Japanese culture is not defined by its inclusiveness or exclusiveness any more than Arab culture is not defined by its supposed "barbarism".
Get that through your thick head.
Culture is neither good nor bad and has both good and bad elements in it.
