They are all Westerners!
Looks to me like they need to unpack their invisible knapsack of privilege!!

A few months earlier some Japanese were protesting Westerners coming into their country legally and being VERY racist about it. I really don't know why the Japanese are protesting though. Non-Japanese don't get citizenship in Japan, they get visas, and they can work there their whole lives but they ain't gonna be allowed to retire there. And if the Japanese continue to be racist they may learn that Westerners are really good at playing the "You're a racist nazi if you don't grant visa workers and illegals citizenship" game.

Hopefully the Japanese will continue to not give a fuck and preserve their national identity. Go Go Japan!

  • I suppose if one were to crowd all Americans west of the Mississippi into California, they wouldn't be as pro-immigration either.
  • White Americans came to what is now America—aside from the odd unknown (more rarely known) explorer—about 400 years ago. Japanese migrated to Japan perhaps 1000 years before that.
  • Japan acted horribly before Americans put an end to their militarism.
  • Trump yammered about the Japanese back in the 1980s—perhaps as much as he does the Chinese.
  • Japan arguably gets a pass on anti-white and anti-black racism given the treatment of Japanese-Americans and Japanese-Canadians; nor was Japan much involved in the African slave trade.
  • There is an issue with Koreans, Chinese, et al.
 
Japanese tv is great. Never been to the place but I had a crush on a Japanese girl when I was in high school.
 
Their porn is just all over the place. I usually avoid it cuz just damn.

They... they literally...

We... we fought a war... we dropped atomic bombs...

I'm so fucking... baffled? I guess is the word?

Japan DOES rightly come under fire for those laws, as well as other archaic laws that are literally left-overs from the time that they were ACTIVELY Nazis- they're still pretty shitty to Korea. "Nazi-chic" is a thing in Japan. Studio Ghibli makes movies glorifying actual Nazis.

Heil Tojo and all that like... when I saw the title of this thread I was actually going to bring up how Japan still holds a lot of racists beliefs and has a lot of institutionalized racism because they never really... stopped... with the whole Nazi thing... in the way that Germany did. They got "scared straight" and then we were like, "Ok shit, yeah, we went too far."

And as a result their culture does still have a lot of shit to answer for.

I love Japan- a lot of good shit comes out of Japan, but in this particular area they need to change.

This movie came out in 2013. Ghibli is literally considered the Disney of Japan. This would be like if Walt Disney had released a favorable bio-pic about a Nazi aviator, to an audience of children, in the year of our lord 2013.

I can't think of anything else to compare it to- because that's literally what it was. A Nazi propaganda film about Jiro Horikoshi, who designed planes for the Nazis- distributed by WALT FUCKING DISNEY. It was the highest grossing film in Japan the year it debuted. It was nominated for an academy award.

It portrayed a NAZI as a WAR HERO, was meant to make us sympathetic toward him, to see him as a great man, even as he calls his boss "Mr Hitler".

Japan needs to get their shit together visa-vi where they stand on these particular ideologies.

Probably sells well in the US.

Why? Under what authority or place of moral superiority do they fire from??

Why does it need to change?

Such as? :confused:

It did- again, it was nominated for an academy award. I watched it because I LOVE Ghibli- with my /fucking child/. We turned it off because we had to get into a whole big thing about the atrocities Japan committed during WW2 when this movie takes place, why Horikoshi was a horrible person and the Zero plane that he's inventing over the course of the movie and then giving to Hitler was a machine of war, etc. It got educational, but there's some shit you don't expect to jump out at you from the people who made fucking Ponyo and My Neightbor Totoro!

Grave of Fireflies didn't even get this bad, goddamn.

It really hit home how this was... just a culturally acceptable thing.

I guess the Japanese are getting tired of 70 years of peace and prosperity—unprecedented. Some seem to be admiring leaders that got them ruin and getting nuked—and in the case of about a fourth-to-a-third of Germany occupied by commies for over 40 years.

This time, however, countries are ready.

US has nukes.
China has nukes.
Even North Korea has nukes—likely in response to the history of Japan.

my bold

In 2015 9,469 applications for Japanese citizenship were approved. The number of foreign residents in Japan applying to naturalize and obtain Japanese citizenship peaked in 2008 at more than 16,000, but declined to 12,442 in 2015. Processing of applications can take up to 18 months. Application criteria are set deliberately high and inspectors are granted a degree of discretion in interpretation of eligibility and good conduct criteria.[30]

Most of the decline in applications is accounted for by a steep reduction in the number of Japan-born Koreans taking Japanese citizenship. Historically the bulk of those taking Japanese citizenship have not been new immigrants but rather Special Permanent Residents; Japan-born descendants of Koreans and Taiwanese who remained in Japan at the end of the Second World War.

[q]The concept of a unified minzoku retains a legal authority. A 1984 amendment to the Japanese Nationality Act made citizenship jus sanguinis, tied to blood rather than place of birth. Japanese citizenship is exclusive: those who naturalize must renounce their first nationality, and those who are born Japanese but with a second citizenship must choose between them by the time they are 20 years old.

I wonder what that means for the diaspora.

[q]Nearly half of Asahi Shimbun's readers who responded to a 2016 poll said that immigrants should respect Japanese culture and obey Japanese customs, while about one quarter said that Japanese people should embrace diversity.[40]

Return migration to Japan
Main article: Dekasegi

In the 1980s, with Japan's growing economy facing a shortage of workers willing to do so-called three K jobs (きつい kitsui [difficult], 汚い kitanai [dirty], and 危険 kiken [dangerous]), Japan's Ministry of Labor began to grant visas to ethnic Japanese from South America to come to Japan and work in factories. The vast majority — estimated at roughly 300,000 — were from Brazil, but there is also a large population from Peru and smaller populations from Argentina and other Latin American countries.

In response to the recession as of 2009, the Japanese government has offered ¥300,000 ($3,300) for unemployed Japanese from Latin America to return to their country of origin with the stated goal of alleviating the country's soaring unemployment. Another ¥200,000 ($2,200) is offered for each additional family member to leave.[120] Emigrants who take this offer are not allowed to return to Japan with the same privileged visa with which they entered the country.[121] Arudou Debito, columnist for The Japan Times, an English language newspaper in Japan, denounced the policy as "racist" as it only offered Japanese-blooded foreigners who possessed the special "person of Japanese ancestry" visa the option to receive money in return for repatriation to their home countries.[121] Some commentators also accused it of being exploitative since most nikkei had been offered incentives to immigrate to Japan in 1990, were regularly reported to work 60+ hours per week, and were finally asked to return home when the Japanese became unemployed in large numbers.[121][122] [123] At the same time, return migration to Japan, along with repatriation to their home countries, has also created complex relationships with both their homeland and hostland, a condition which has been called a "'squared diaspora' in which the juxtaposition of homeland and hostland itself becomes questionable, instable and fluctuating."[124] This has also taken on new forms of "circular migration" as first and second generation nikkei travel back and forth between Japan and their home countries.[125]
 
Someone needs to start an NPC thread. I'm not doing it, it takes a year for me to get a response.
