Re: Why isn't Japan multicultural?
It is very difficult for Foreigners here,
i lived before already in 6 W-European Countries
and 3 South-East Asian Countries and
came to Japan by Accident only!

In no other Country i had such huge Problems
like here in Japan and it took me more
than 10 Years to get a allowance to stay
for longer than a year and i am even
married to a Japanese National!

In this Decade since i am here i worked
for 5 Years in the Guesthouse Business
and saw countless Visa-Dramas,
it is very difficult even with big Money
and/ or a Working Contract.

Japan was always a closed Country
but also occupied by three separate
Poplulations:
1: the Ainu in the North
2: the mainland Japanese
3: the The Ryukyu People

It was like the UK or like a tiny Japan!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30887249


The Japanese people traditionally believe that the Emperor was a God and all are descended from the Gods. They choose to remain isolated and when many attacks were waged against Japan by China in the past, Typhoons meaning Big or great wind (God's wind)in the sea of Japan, would wreck the attacking ships, saving the Japanese from invasion. This led them to believe they were blessed by the Gods. This ethnocentrism is a key characteristic in the Japanese culture and much of their population looks down on the rest of the world. Sadly, they don't think much of themselves either. After they lost WWII, it was a tremendous blow. Accepting help from America was even more difficult. The American occupation was demeaning and degrading for the average Japanese citizen. In spite of their love of foreign cultures, they will always see themselves as number one.

Re: Why isn't Japan multicultural?
Some say that if there is a pole shift or a world wide catastrophe, then the preservation of races would be a good thing for continuity of the human race. In the western world, should such a catastrophe happen, then maybe 10% of people would survive (multi-national) keeping the genepool going. Having lots of races embedded within multiple countries/continents allows this.

Those in the east do not seem as keen on this idea. ..i guess since 70% of the world is asian anyway it seems less relevant. white people are only about 12% of world, and blacks about the same. Rest are asian.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26991130


Whites:1.2 Billion =17%
Blacks:1 Billion=15%
Asians: 2.1 Billion=31%
Middle Easterners/Indians: 1.675 Billion= 25%
Native Americans/Mestizos: 250 Million= 4%
Others: 536 million= 8%

Have you ever noticed the symbolism in the
transition of the Japanese and German flags ?

WW2, Japan's flag was the rising sun with
rays outstretched... now their sun is without
outstretched rays... it is in isolation.

WW2, the German colors were red, black and white.
Now the Germans have symbolically replaced White
with yellow.

Re: Why isn't Japan multicultural?
Some Japanese are very multi cultural, in fact I survive here in Japan on that fact.
The government, on the other hand does not, and will not encourage a multi cultural society.
From what I know the holding cells at Narita airport are hell on earth.

Needless to say most asylum
seekers bypass Japan when looking for a new home.

And in it's past Japan sought to emulate the western powers and invaded a good part of SE Asia,Korea , China and Taiwan!

Re: Why isn't Japan multicultural?
Japan is probably 90% or more Japanese. There's no "karma" for wiping out the indegenous Ainu who were probably Caucasoid. Why isn't Japan diversified like Europe or the USA?

Re: Why isn't Japan multicultural?
They may not be culturally diverse but Ahorsepoopmerica has been accused of the same thing because of the fact that we were founded by religious Puritans that stayed isolated for hundreds of years. It made us pretty uptight, and now our butts are just unwinding now. WE have been a very conservative country. At least in Japan you can freely buy girls panties in vending machines. That is freedom.

Re: Why isn't Japan multicultural?
Blacks did not come to white countries at the first place.It is whites who invaded the africa ,enslaved them,then destroyed their livings and made them to return to white countries.Even USA is not belonged to whites.It is a robbed land by genocide and invasion.Whenyou talk about migration, we have to consider these facts as well.People who live in a robbed country should not talk about nationalism.Everything is artifical.Divisions were created by the society and mythologcal religions.

Re: Why isn't Japan multicultural?
Multiculturalism has always existed because many different cultures have always existed, it just depends on how you define it. If you were to visit Japan you could see the attractions, meet the people, sample the local cuisine, and return home bringing a little piece of Japan with you forever. That would be a wonderful thing, that's diversity, that's open-mindedness, that's multiculturalism.

If on the other hand, you and 25 million people with my particular ethnic and cultural background all moved into Japan simultaneously then demand to be integrated into the Japanese economy, demand to be integrated into their neighborhoods, demand to be integrated into their school systems, demand our language to be integrated with theirs, demand to marry Japanese mates and demand to be represented proportionally in the Japanese Government then it becomes a problem.

That wouldn't necessarily be a constructive thing for Japan as a whole. Japan as an entity isn't defined by it's borders, it's defined by the people of that country. And for you and 25 million of your friends to place this demand upon them wouldn't necessarily be perceived by them as a positive thing. Because we would be proposing to change their country irrevocably.

The word by it's very definition means "More than one culture," so it means to "Introduce" something into a place, and the people of that place might not necessarily dislike you personally, but they might resent what you're introducing. They might view it as a violation of their own rights, perhaps of their very existence.

My definition of multiculturalism is the mainstream media's definition. In reality, the word should be changed to multi-racialism. But that's not politically correct now is it?

They're going to have to get "multicultural" or they won't survive and that's the truth.

They sell more "Depends" than diapers for infants because the country's getting so old and the birthrate's been so low. Without workers to replace them, the Japanese economy will collapse--no younger people to buy government debt or to tax.

They must open up to allow for immigration or they don't stand a chance.

True that. I just see more and more people complaining about it the last couple of years. Tbh i dunno what exactly to expect in the core countries of the EU like Germany, Austria, Netherlands etc. where multiculturalism and the simultaneously erasement of national consciousness has gone to another level compared to some other countries and has been on the making for more years than Greece for example and almost reached it's completeness. Here the state, the church and the citizens are reluctant to implement these policies although EU is pushing us hard the last decade to do so, you can see that it's not working and the financial crisis makes it even worse and even pushes people to support radical fascist nutjobs. Imo we shouldn't confuse a good patriot that loves his country with a right-wing nazi and that's what the establishment is trying to do through policies and MSM. I expect mass rioting against this agenda when shtf with the financial collapse in many/most European countries.
