Americans are worse at it, true. Mispronouncing foreign words is a matter of patriotism for Uncle Sam, right alongside bizarre phenomena such as the Freedom Fries thing (sorry if I sound offensive, but that was just hilarious).
But English speakers as a whole will pronounce everything they see as it was written in English and be done with it. Right after that they will make fun of the Japanese when they try to say fly lice and say fried rice instead.
Lingua Franca privileges, I guess =)
