This article is funny as the author seems very upset about misperceptions, although everything in the post shows that Japan is extremely homogeneous. Even 93% is an extremely homogenous country and showing a few example of famous Japanese people with diverse backgrounds doesn’t change the fact that they are rare. Doubling from 1% to 2% in the Japanese census doesn’t mean that Japan isn’t homogenous, it just means it is changing. Maybe a better concept is that Japan is changing to be less homogenous over time and in many decades it could be as diverse as its neighbors.
