Incredibly stupid and misleading comment of yours, slily insinuating Adrian has taken an "arrogant/racist" attitude towards the Japanese, when in fact not the slightest trace of such an attitude can be found in his comment.
Rather, he (rightfully) criticized the generally negative effect caused by the deployment of anglocentric teaching methods (exclusively for the convenience of the Anglo world).
In addition, he observed a negative feedback of such strategems on the Anglo world itself, in as much as it forms an "impediment by convenience" for them to learn about other cultures (and thus rise a bit on the scale of human development).
So in a way what he said is the opposite of what you claim he did. Might that have been what triggered your inadequate reaction?
As for "arrogance", you stated that Kunrei/Nihon have been "sabotaging Japanese people's ability to learn and pronounce English correctly", as if there was any value in that for a civilization that culturally stands much higher than, say, the USA.
And as for "racism", it is well known that was an important factor on the "no prisoners" approach the US took against Japan, and also in terroristically and sadistically napalming one city after another (then repeated in Korea and Vietnam).
