EW is suggesting that Japan somehow manages not to loot and riot, unlike our urban areas during, lets say... Katrina. It's thinly veiled racism.
Thing is, Japan not being prepared for earthquakes would be like my hometown not being prepared for a tornado. The fact that New Orleans was not prepared for a hurricane was the
whole fucking point.
