Example: The Japanese are proud of their language, do they foreign words? No they assimilate them, for example, computer=konpyutaa.
That's a bit different. Kana pronounciation of words in the Japanese language doesn't come from a Japanese effort to keep their language pure, but simply to make the word pronouncable and writable. English words, as they are, aren't formated the same way as japanese words and can't be written readily in katakana.
