Sorry, are you saying that the main reason immigrants from Eastern Europe and India become rich is through scamming hapless fools? Not through, say, hard work and educational opportunities? And are you saying this is a change, or how it’s always been?

Japanese people are not very religious but are very high trust and high on the development index, much higher than the Middle East in my opinion.

Japanese people believe that are the Gods themselves, if we put it into Western perspective. They are indeed the most trustworthy people i got to work with (but also extremely procedure-driven, formal, slow on decisionmaking, and painfully anal when it comes to matching even the tiny details in requirements - so i found it really hard to work with them). Although it has nothing to do with trust.
