- wongarsu 4y agoI think it's no secret that Japan has a reputation for racism, and that you have it harder as an immigrant. Still, the board of Mitsubishi is perfectly reflective of the Japanese population (ignoring the gender ratio, which isn't great but in line with the global average for boards of directors)
- mattigames 4y agoIt's a self fulfilling prophecy, you apply to Mitsubishi or any other company as an immigrant and don't get picked and you tell your friends how hard it is so they don't apply either, and you leave the country instead of starting a family there.

- the_only_law 4y ago> I think this article goes through a lot of micro-exercizes and micro-corrections and semantics to avoid the obvious conclusion that Japan is mostly honogenous, and to a far more degree than the US or a lot of European countries. Ah yes, thank you HN comments.
