Wow, yeah, racism wise Japan and Mongolia are closer than Korea or China, sure, but the split had estimated to have happened at least 40k years ago, that's couple times older than the oldest known human writings. It's just DNAs and some highly academic phonological elements that these regions share.
- qwerty456127 3y agoWe are walking a narrow path between reasonable speculation and grotesque racism now. I just sort of understand the discomfort (racist - yes, unnatural and better to pretend nonexistent - hardly) numerous Japanese may feel considering inflow of people of completely different kins (European, African, whatever). Perhaps it may feel easier to deal with people which look at least a tiny bit similar and share some common cultural elements with you historically. Sure I could say China and Korea instead but these are developed countries so there probably isn't nearly as many resourceful people interested in immigration. The Chinese and Koreans probably also feel less neutral towards Japan because of the events of relatively recent history.
