It's a dog whistle for "if a country's racial identity remained pure everything would've been fine".

It's a dog whistle for "if a country's racial identity remained pure everything would've been fine".

- WarmWash 4mo agoBecause of Japan. A rigid culture and tradition can obviously carry a lot of weight, but usually comes with intense racism as well.
- wat10000 4mo agoKind of a funny example, since Japan got crushed by the poster boy country for diversity, and this nonsense about homogeneity played no small part in their arrogance in thinking they could win.
- wat10000 4mo agoI wonder why this got downvoted. Are we not supposed to mention the war? Does it make people uncomfortable to be reminded of how their rhetoric mirrors that of fascists?
- philipallstar 4mo agoPeople talking about dog whistles constantly state that as if it's fact, instead of them just being race-brained.
- philipallstar 4mo agoIt's nothing to do with race. You need to gain the mindset that not everything is about race.
- wat10000 4mo agoIf it’s nothing to do with race, then why is a country with four official languages being called “homogeneous”?
- rayiner 4mo agoWhy do people say China is “homogenous” when people speaking Cantonese can’t understand people speaking Mandarin? It’s because those groups of people have been part of a common polity off and on since the Qin dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. Similarly, Switzerland has been a thing, in various forms, since French and Italian were considered different dialects of vulgar Latin. The groups that speak the four different languages nonetheless share 800+ years of common political and social history.
- wat10000 4mo agoI’m pretty sure people say China is homogeneous because 90+% of the population is a single ethnicity, and approximately 100% is “Asian” for some meaning of that word. What you’re describing is national unity or identity or something like that, not homogeneity.
