This is all too true.  My professor at CMU (a Ph.D. who owns
her own company) once told me that she would not be allowed
to act as a spokesman with any big US company in Japan simply
because she was a woman -- the Japanese refuse to do business
with women of any country, no matter their qualifications.  Sad
but true.
