Why is Miyazaki's attitude xenophobic? Most US directors don't approve the dubs of their movies that go overseas either, or care much about the audience beyond the one at home, even though foreign box office can be as much as half of a movie's box-office take these days. Miyazaki's just being more honest and blunter about it.
Besides, considering what happened to Nausicaa the first time he licensed it to go overseas and the incredibly ho-hum reaction the US had to Mononoke (which was a pretty big deal at the time), his reaction isn't so much xenophobic as much as it's a rational response to verifiable past history. He doesn't give a flying pig about America because, as far as he can tell, the overwhelming majority of America doesn't give a flying pig about him.
