I think (or at least I hope) Cynthia's reference to "defective"
people meant those who are predisposed to criminal violence--not
something one associates with Jews or Japanese. How accurate
those stereotypes are is another subject. And if you ask me,
pathological conformism is a mental defect rampant in the Japanese
population; I don't know how genetically-influenced that is.
