The real issue is the cost/barrier to entry. I'm pretty sure Japan would be full in 4-5 years if they would open the gates(i.e a free border with the world). It's not like the immigrants are looking for cultural assimilation. Maybe their children but that's not a sure thing either. You can see that in Paris and London where even the 2nd or 3rd generation is still living within the same "communities" with little cultural assimilation. With enough mass immigration you may see a reverse assimilation.
- famouswaffles 3y agoThat's not really what I meant by cultural assimilation. Acceptance, Opportunity, Racism, Xenophobia. East Asia is much more backwards than the West in this regard and the west isn't exactly heaven. In South Korea and Japan, all foreigners get the short end of the stick but black/brown people and Africans get the shorter end. All the open policies in the world won't reverse public sentiment so easily. Immigrant are human. And knowing you won't have to watch people scuttle away when you enter a bus means everything when you have options. You can believe Japan would be full all you want but I assure you it won't be because of Africans.
