Hi Takeshi. I feel like bad people are the majority everywhere, you know. It may be a bit pessimistic but that's the way I see it. Maybe it's my bad life experiences shaping my views but if there's one thing I've seen it's people don't tend to respect the vulnerable. They just don't, must be in our genes. It's all about power and success regardless of how it was achieved with extra points for lacking scruples and having managed not to get caught. But I think it's all countries, sadly. People just tend to express their evil in different ways. In the Third World it's through corruption and dictatorships, in other countries it may be through violence against women and children and in the west it's often through racism.

My mom is a European lady and when she first got to the U.S. she was upset by the role of race in this society. It's as if an individual's race is 99% central to who he is, then comes the other 1% (you know, the irrelevant stuff like his character, he's ethics, his values, his unique temperament). But if we're born in the U.S. or have lived in the U.S. since childhood we don't tend to realize just how bad things are, because this is normal reality. But to people from countries with different costumes it can be absolutely shocking. It's like the Aztecs and their religious human sacrifice, they were fine with it because it was how their society was organized. When another population showed up (the Spanish) who didn't share their values they were appalled
