Yes, but it seems that only we foreigners can clearly see that. When you bring them face to face with such issues they feel terrified, and they either attack you (not very convincingly, let's be honest) or they desperately try to dismiss what you just said. Self-criticism is unknown to them. Once in a while, I must admit that I still like to see such reactions - I find them fascinating. But they are nice people.
Perhaps a better question is: why do the rest of you put up with this joker?
