I think this entire "the Americans" and "the Germans" and "the Japanese" thing in this post is probably super productive and leads us somewhere useful!
It's really broad strokes and focused on a snapshot of one element of the contemporary culture of those places. I think there's nothing wrong with acknowledging these differences, no more than acknowledging that different cultures celebrate holidays differently.
