From what I can make of these threads, I think the question should be changed into should the japanese stop assuming that foreigners are stupid ? ;)
They should assume that they can't understand Japanese and use gestures
They should first ask them whether they can speak Japanese (either in Japanese or in English)
They should address them in Japanese and only use gestures or speak more slowly if the person doesn't understand
