English is the international language of diplomacy. There’s a reason you can “get by” with just English in a lot of countries if you’re apologetic enough. The same is not true for Japanese.
Plenty of Americans are bilingual and plenty of Japanese are monolingual. The idea that every Australian, European and Japanese person is cultured and well-travelled is ridiculous. Even most Canadians can’t be bothered to learn French, which is one of the easiest languages for an English speaker to learn.

Idk why people think this is an american problem, this is an anglophone problem. Aussies, brits, and canadians are just as bad
