Japan is actually quite racist, as well. I had a Japanese roommate who said her mother was Korean, but growing up in Japan, she never told anybody because Japanese people believe, in general, than the Japanese race is superior to all others. Can't attest to that myself--just relating what I was told.

Isayos: Some people will take your comment to be racist, as though you are lumping together all Asian peoples. But I know what you mean: it's along the same lines as not being able to tell the difference between an Argentinian, Floridian, or Yankee.

Just a little joke:
As Argentinians would say: "We are Italians who happened to have enough bad luck to be born in this piece of s***t continent"

Indeed, affirmative action is hateful and intended to punish one race of people, rather than achieve some sort of fairness.

They wish they were Italian, but they don't have the Alpine and Nordic admixtures as do Northern Italians.

Our son is married to a Japanese woman and YES, they most certainly are quite racist. Even their son is not allowed to become a citizen of Japan because he is pat white. Our son would not listen to us when we tried to explain the facts of life about different cultures and such and he found out that she married him for a fast track to citizenship.

So... naive Western whites were sold on multiculturalism. The immigration floodgates opened and, in the United States, whites went from a 93% majority in 1965 down to 70% in 2007. In another 20 years, whites will be down to less than 50% if we continue on this trend. But to liberals, this is heaven... the less whites, the better. To liberals, the only whites that can remain are liberal whites; all others must be eliminated. Liberals view this as, "cleaning out the evil of society since whites = evil".


Of course we all know the dangers of a multicultural society - it can't and doesn't work. Balkanization eventually results; tribalism sets in. Society fractions into different sects based on religious and ethnic characteristics. Tensions grow between the different sects and, predictably, deadly conflict and even civil war erupts. History is littered with societies which break apart due to multiculturalism: great societies, developing societies, no place is immune to the ill effects of a non-homogenous society.

humm, I guess I dont see how it would be racest. Im not saying one is better, just saying thats my personal observation. Im German and would not be offended if someone said they couldnt tell me from a Danish or Polish. Anywho, sorry if it came off as racest.

Argentinians wear more gold chains than Yankees. Not sure about Floridians.

There are many racist people in Japan, just as in the United States and other countries.

If it is really the case that your son's wife married him to become a permanent resident, that constitutes clear marriage fraud and he should be able to have the marriage annulled easily.

It is no easy task to reconcile cultural differences between spouses from different cultures. It is especially hard if either or both sets of parents are racist or significantly biased toward their own race.

Care to cite a few specific examples of powerful societies which dissolved due to multiculturalism?
