Yes, but you can't expect people just to forget their cultural =
differences.
In Japan, addressing someone with their last name, but without a
"politeness" suffix is considered undignifying/rude/offensive (take your =
pick).

So a Japanese reader will, while perfrectly understanding that this =
wasn't
the westerner's intent, still feel disturbed. This kind of problem can =
be avoided.
