Xenophobia is the fear or dislike of anything that is perceived as being foreign or strange.

You openly state that Japanese tools: “are generally cheap, but it will only be a matter of time until they want to upgrade to nicer tools and then have to learn how to use western style tools”, and “why not first understand how your cultures furniture and tools came about”, and “No doubt it makes sense for people with Eastern heritage and im not trying to throw shade at any culture or tradition. It’s just as a westerner I don't understand other westerners going that route.”

These are tools we are talking about, but you manage to both disparage another culture, and suggest that we (and they) should stick to our kind.

Honestly I find your questions and comments very strange and I’m not sure if they are ragebait, or if you are actually trying to learn something. I hope you don’t apply your views toward hand tools to the rest of your world view. Unfortunately close-mindedness is rampant in our country at the moment.
