There have been pages of responses I haven't read yet, so please excuse if I am repeating something someone has already said.

I would say without question there is no basis in fact for the above sentence. I agree with a lot you say, RealJames, but I think it is viciously short-sighted to say Japanese do not have close or deep relationships like North Americans do.

YOU may not have deep relationships with Japanese people, but that doesn't mean Japanese people do not have such relationships with each other.

I am surprised you made this statement, really.
