That's not the answer...Their culture of honor and respect for each other is the answer, unlike America which, judging from reading this forum has an "I'm ok, to hell with the other guy attitude" Not everyone is like that, but there are far too many that are....Nothing at all to do with color...

Yup. No matter what their color, if the @#$#@ hit the fan, I'm pretty sure it won't be my RICH neighbors who loot my house.

Because the survivors bought everything vaguely useful as soon as they could so there was nothing left to steal?

Usually, it's electronics that are stolen. Waterlogged electronics are worthless. Having said that, I do believe their looting would not be anywhere near what we would have had if they hadn't been waterlogged.

Different culture breeds different value structure. However...in the end, a man's gotta eat and provide.

As I mentioned in another thread, if there was me, a whale, a koala and a panda bear, and we were all starving, at the end of the week I'm still going to be there with my two friends.

Because unlike New Orleans, the Japanese respect their neighbors.

That is a little different from raping, killing, and robbing your fellow man. I personally would rather die than to be a part of a "culture" that found such activities acceptable. I guess that is the difference between you and me.
