Gaijin are looked down upon. Sorry if you don't want to see it that way. Maybe the youth are different, but those that actually run things see it a different way. A traditional and nationalistic way.

And which people would be the ones who would most likely buy an Xbox 360 is at all? The youth....
Yet your rationalization of Xbox 360's poor selling performance in japan was because Japanese people have a superiority complex....
You've never been to japan and you do not understand it's culture. Same goes with japanese people's perspective of foreigners. How do you know if it's "looked down upon" or just "fear"
Human nature tells us we always fear what we can't understand. And don't take the perspective of wrestlers you knew who were there. Ultimately it comes down to your experiences and what your opinion about it is. I bet you if you went to Japan you'd have a blast. No one would get in your face without a reason. Wrestlers face animosity wherever they go, from fans who don't like there character to rival fans.
My advice to you is to visit Japan and see how their culture works and how they go about their lives before making a stereotype about them. Remember... they came from an Imperialistic origin with Emperors and a Monarchy. You could say their stubborness roots from that, but today things are a lot different. How do you think they got their clothes, their start in technology and their industrialization? The WEST....
they are what they are today because they accepted western philosophy. If not you'd still be seeing samurais....
