To be fair, the author mocks the left as well, right after:
"while to some on the Left, it’s a bastion of xenophobia and isolationism"
He is obviously parodying two extremes: the right's "racism is fine" and the left's "everybody else is racist".
- CivBase 6y agoI'm not sure how to read that as mocking the left - unless the author is saying that liberals commonly overstate Japan's isolationist ideals and tendencies for xenophobia. Even if that was the author's intent, it's a pretty minor mock compared to being associated with ideals of racial purism.
