I said absolutely nothing about race. I resent the implication that my opinion is somehow racially-based. Nor have I done anything related to a "flame war". I insulted no individuals and I attacked no groups. Nor has a "flame war" arisen from my comment. There have been many responses and there's no "flame war", just reasonable disagreement. I simply expressed a sense of loss at the potential dissolution of a culture. My concerns are central to the whole topic; they are shared by most Japanese people. This is not some fringe view, it is at the center of the entire issue and is entirely mainstream. Your accusations don't connect. This rebuke makes it seem like you're using biased enforcement of facially-neutral rules to advantage one side of the discussion, and suppress mainstream views on the other side. What you're doing here is harmful to the health of the HN community, and wider discourse. Please reconsider how you've approached this issue, and be more circumspect before making such accusations. Ask yourself - How would someone with the opposite mainstream view, or a Japanese person, consider the comment? How would I moderate this if I agreed with the underlying worldview and values?
