Japan Demographics

quote:

Ethnic groups - Japanese 97.9%, Chinese 0.6%, Korean 0.4%, other 1.1% (includes Vietnamese, Filipino, and Brazilian) (2017 est.)


Dictionary.com

quote:

Ethnostate - noun. A county populated by, or dominated by a single racial or ethnic group. Example - Some white nationalists group envision an ethnostate as ideal


On the surface, Japan seems to check all the boxes of being an ethnostate, but digging deeper, it looks like they get a pass for being Asian.

TO answer to question succinctly, yes, Japan is nearly ethnically homogenous. The Japanese are also extremely racist to boot. Seems to work for them though so why force them to adapt? They do not like gaijin at all in their living space.

Why do they need a pass?

Just because white societies are committing suicide does not mean Japan needs to.

Depends on who you ask.

White westerners view them all as Japanese but actual Japanese people see very different shades of skin among the population. I expect they would say no.

Recently talked to a friend who just visited there and he said it was the most friendly and beautiful place that he knows of. Trains were spot on time, squeaky clean with no crime or tensions on the street. Diversity is a strength depending on the character of those who mix into a society. Social engineering that mixes in people with heathen characteristics will negatively affect any relatively civilized society. Good intentions nws.

If this is how they choose to run their country, who are we to question it?

The statistics bearing out the way that they do in meeting the definition of an ethnostate is only a problem when viewed through the lens of that being wrong.

I wish the US would’ve adopted this model two hundred years ago.

I suppose melting pots can work in theory, but when one of the major two political parties subsides solely on pushing racist and otherwise divisive language, the result is a large quotient of this country ends up hating it and not taking care of it.

Maybe I’m cynical in my late 30s, but I think we’ve long since crossed the cultural Rubicon. Americans have become far too stupid, lazy, and entitled to understand or even care about what’s happening here.

Not for much longer. They are about to increase immigration due to their low birth rate.

Japan is a great place to visit. I've enjoyed being there. As a gaijin, however, I would not want to live there. At least they are kind of polite about their racism.

I'm not saying they are wrong. I just would not be able to fully adapt, and they would not fully accept. It's a mutual agreement.
