> Japan's xenophobia is so strong that they don't care about doing what they need to to get back on top (embrace immigration). This old argument gets so tiresome. And then what? After they import 10 million people and then they stagnate again, do they have to import 20 million people? If the economic system depends on immigration, then there is something terrible wrong with the economic system and it needs to change. > The USA may be headed in that direction but we are no where near the shitstorm of demographics and xenophobia that Japan is dealing with. Nonsense. We are all xenophobic. It's human nature. Maybe we are better at hiding it now than japan, but that's probably not a good thing when you think about it. In times of crisis, japan is going to be better off as a homogenous and united population has proven to be far more stable than those with racial/ethnic/religion divisions/tensions.
