Baloney. If I made a documentary about modern China, today, there would be tons of Western culture evident (clothes, TV shows, McDonald's on every corner,) the teens would no doubt do a certain amount of swearing in bad Engrish, and still there probably wouldn't be a white person to be seen anywhere. That's how cultural dominance works, the culture spreads even though the people don't so much.
