I don't agree with your comments. Japanese have unique words like enryo. Which is important in Japan and not really in the US. Facial expressions are also not the same, like laughing. Japanese tend to laugh for many reasons, one is if they are nervous. In the USA we can sometimes be insulted if someone laughs at a serious comment that we made. Please give me some examples and proof to support your comments. Single word answers are also not acceptable and more thought needs to be put into your answers.
