Ask yourself why Japan has a zero immigration policy - despite having one of the lowest birth rates in the world!
It's because they see their society and culture as somewhat fragile, there would be too much turmoil and problems with immigrants. They want to preserve their culture. |
Hmmm =/ I hate both the liberals and conservatives in Japan. I remember being told in my orientation that it was a good thing that my parents gave me a Japanese name, and perserved my heritage. But on the other hand, what heritage? Sure, it'll be totally wrong to say I don't have any ounce of Japanese culture in me due to my household, but I was born in the US, raised in the US, and socialized in the US. I'll love to call myself Japanese, but I feel like it's a privellege I haven't earned/deserve, just like it's a privellege to be able to call yourself an American.
You might think of me as racist if I say that it's kinda disheartening for me to imagine a Japan that looks like America. I mean, America was a young history that has no concept of racial origin (even white people are from different countries, Ireland, Britain, France, Germany, etc). Japan, no, in fact almost all the countries have had histories dating back thousands of years... bah fuck it, IDK.
