If you have this attitude you won't like Japan very much then. Not only has Japan spent the last 25 years coming to terms with a more open society and economy, but they're recognizing now that if they don't make citizenship more accessible for immigration and accept they are not a "nation of one race" (as many in power have previously pandered) they're teetering towards a national collapse.
> I truly hope Japan keeps its doors shut to foreigners seeking to move there. Today, you can walk down any of the streets of Tokyo without batting an eyelash. Try doing the same in Chicago.
Unless you are, you know, a woman. Or homeless.
Your opinion of Japan seems somewhat romanticized and influenced by media that over-simplifies it. That itself is pretty disrespectful to a country that's struggling to define and redefine itself in a modern world.
Maybe try studying what Japan is, instead of suggesting the legacy of imperialist nationalism should he cherished.
- gragas 9y ago>Unless you are, you know, a woman. Or homeless. I don't understand your point about women in Japan. Regardless, the issues you point out are essentially irrelevant when compared to the massive issues the US has seen because of multiculturalism. Do you hate Trump? Well, the only reason he's in power is because someone from a different culture than yours voted him in.

I don't really get how this is relevant. I do wish he'd stop saying it's okay to fire me because of my experience of gender though. Oh wait, was your point that Trump being from "another culture" and someone with many accusations of sexual assault (some under oath and not contested) is an example of how multi-culturalism is responsible for rape? If so, say so and I'll respond to that.
