I think you hearing an alt-right dog whistle is exactly the Western-centric attitude I was referring to. > Which is odd because most immigrants to Japan are As

  > I think you hearing an alt-right dog whistle is exactly the Western-centric attitude I was referring to. That's because the alt-right uses Japan as a proxy for its own anti-immigration and racialist views, particularly in regards to to Muslim and Eastern European immigrants. It seems to me to be a new form of Orientalism. >If you think there's no racial tension between native Japanese and Korean/Chinese immigrants I have some news for you. There definitely is, but that depends on one's definition of "race." But that tension has existed for hundreds if not thousands of years (obvious post-WW2 sentiments notwithstanding) so I don't see that contributing to the disruption of Japanese culture since it's been a constant in Japanese culture for so long.
