Article from this year. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2017/06/04/national/tackling-signs-japan-youre-not-welcome/ Also the fact that its permissible is the problem not that someone put up the sign and took it down. That would never fly here. Their racial ignorance is so deep they're not even aware they're being racist. Not to mention this isn't as bad as all the hate speech that has been going around the past few years against koreans. It was only recently that they passed a hate speech bill because it was escalating so much. darkknight109 posted... I find it amusing how you say this, then act like a practice which is not widespread in Japan somehow is representative of all of Japanese culture. The fact that its permissible is the egregious bit. It says a lot about a country when someone can do something so overtly racist and receive little to no backlash for it. What i find amusing is your inability to realize the problem. darkknight109 posted... Also, the "equality" I referenced wasn't purely racial in nature, although the fact you assumed that's what I was talking about says quite a bit on its own. It says that in America at least inequality is largely racial? Sure inequality exists among white individuals but its not quite as bad as what you see comparing it between races. darkknight109 posted... You misunderstand - I didn't say the white population was shrinking *proportionally* (as in, whites now make up a lower percentage of the population than they used to); I said that the white population was shrinking period. As in, if you count up the raw numbers, there are fewer white people in the country today than their used to be with no signs of that changing anytime soon. That...wasn't really my point.It is irrelevant which color population is shrinking. My point was that our population continues to grow because we have a strong immigrant population which we encourage where as japan does not and entirely of their own choice. Japan's deflation is totally amenable. darkknight109 posted... trange, then, how in the 80s and 90s - back when their culture was far more conservative around these issues - their economy was booming and was amongst the hottest on the planet. No their economic situation is not due to one facet of their culture its due to myriad of facets of their culture since i mentioned two different ones in this discussion with you alone. Gender values and Xenophobia are different things altogether. However the fact of the matter remains they've more or less dug their own hole. --- I love people. I hate people. ...
