Are Japanese more hypocritical with foreigners ?

Heck, most Americans don't even know that a large majority of what they perceive to be American products are in fact foreign. Shell oil and Toyota come to mind. They, mostly the younger ones, are shocked when they find out that Shell is in fact Dutch, and Toyota is a Japanese company.

What ! Is there people in the States who think that Toyota is American !! That doesn't improve my image of the average American, I can assure you !

And FYI, Shell is half-British, not 100% Dutch.

While we were touring Japan last summer, a Japanese person asked one of our tour members if we have McDonalds in America.

Some there may think that McDonalds originated in Japan.
