OK, so "They" (ie the 130 million or so Japanese) disagree with Philip's comment that they are not uniquely different?

Does that mean that the Japanese (all of them) regard themselves as uniquely different?

Painting with a fairly large brush, no? However, maybe I'm reading him wrong and he can clear up what he meant.
My guess based on what makes sense to me:

Definately painting with a large brush in my opinion...and I probably shouldn't have tried to speak for someone else. My appologies.
