Asians and hive mind? I doub't it, Southern Europe has been making contact with the Japanese for centuries. Heck, we even have in Spain a town with people surnamed "Japón" for obvious reasons.

The Anglo-Saxon mindset it's really outdated then...

I didn't say Asians have a hive mind. It used to be a widespread racist stereotypes of Chinese, Japanese and other East Asian people. Luckily it seems to have fallen out of favor but it's hardly ancient.
