Compared to where?
Most of the world is China, India and Africa.
The rest of the developed world is vastly better than Japan when it comes to treating immigrants better.
- craftyguy 8y agoHere in the US, there are quite a few folks who are openly hostile towards immigrants.
- hueving 8y agoIn my experience there is a lot of hostility to undocumented immigrants (a.k.a illegal immigrants) but very little to people to immigrate legitimately.
- tomcam 8y agoWhere?
- adventured 8y agoUS population: ~60% white non-hispanic, 20% hispanic, 14% black, 6% Asian Japan: 98.5% ethnic Japanese Immigrants in the US + their US born children = 27% of the population, roughly 86 million people, or equal to 3/4 the size of Japan's entire population. Such hostility.
- xref 8y agoI'm unclear how these numbers prove there isn't hostility towards immigrants in the US?
- Semirhage 8y agoThe experience of being a westerner in China is much worse than in Japan IME. I can’t speak for India or the continent of Africa, but in the latter case I’d guess that it varies widely by country.
- icelancer 8y agoI've enjoyed my time in China much more than Japan as a "westerner," and I'm Japanese-American.
- Semirhage 8y agoI'm Japanese-American. I suspect that’s the key right there. From friends who are the same, I get the impression that in Japan if you’re of Japanese descent the expectations had of you are very different than the typical gaikokujin.
