I feel there's a big difference when you compare the US to either Europe or Asia as a whole: we are very open about it and our failings with it. It's in our consciousness to work hard to fight against it.

I think Europe is getting there with this frame of mind, but I don't feel that Asia even pretends to try.

I might agree with you, but I still think that declaring it outright might provoke the old "arrogant American" reaction.
