I just answered the question. If I emigrate to Mexico and become a citizen, I am Mexican, same with Kenya. So what are you asking? Only in the case of Japan does the ethnicity and nationality meet beyond doubt. In their case, yes, Japan's an extremely racist country that is often overtly hostile to non-Japanese people and has an immigration policy that is absolutely aimed at retaining as much racial purity as possible.
How is Japan an "extremely racist" county for having an immigration policy that puts the well being of their people and nation before other nation and people?
Is it "racist" if you put the needs of your family before that of another family?
Women passed men in terms of the quantity of college graduates a few decades ago. In any major corp today, a large chunk of management, at all levels, are women. They do not need men simply to survive anymore. That's great, for both genders. It does, however, lead to a natural reduction in family size, as to drop off the career track is a very expensive and risky proposition..forever.
Typically, in a few generations, immigrants will mimic that reduction in family size.
Technically speaking, the concept of race has no meaning. You could line up the entire world population from the blondest, straightest hair, whitest-skinned person to the blackest, kinkiest hair, darkest skin person and no one could put a finger on where one "race" begins and another ends. "Race" is a sociopolitical term used to maintain one "race's" financial superiority over another. "Race" is what the "majority" uses against the "minority".
Race does have a meaning, if you do not believe me, why do some races have different health problems then others?
Are you calling Lilyflower...sweetheart because you like her or are you just being condescending. Gee, I wonder which one I suggest you don't mess with her nor any other female here with that sexist remark. Ok, go back to the conservation
Yes, we're all duly intimidated by your grrlpower.

Exactly. It's just like geography. No one can put a finger on where "hills" end and "mountains" begin. Obviously then, there's no such thing as "mountains" and "hills," but those racist, sexist cisprivileged white men can't stop talking about them anyway. Don't they know that the difference between the highest peak and the lowest valley is infinitesimal compared to the depth of the atmosphere? Such ignorance.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want to risk my life for a measly $10.00/hour. The only reason I even know about the pay now is because we had a couple of them fall to their deaths recently and it was talked about on the news.
Are you saying race and genes play no part at all in it?
Everything is nurture. Any genetic differences you perceive are due to your unholy bigoted imagination. Except when it comes to sexual orientation. That's 100% genetically determined. Except for gender identity. That's fluid. If you can't keep up, that just goes to show how unkosher you are.

A hill is a landform which has a distinct summit that extends above the surrounding terrain, in a limited area.
A mountain is a landform that extends above the surrounding terrain in a limited area. A mountain is generally higher and steeper than a hill.

Japan has the lowest birth rate of any industrialized first world nation.
Japan is facing a looming demographics crisis due to its aging population its government freely admits it is serious problem. No first world nation is facing a crisis of this proportion, Japan is going to have a difficult time simply caring for all the elderly people they're going to have in the coming decades (and again, their government acknowledges this).
People from the United States who are highly skilled and educated, speak fluent Japanese and want to emigrate to Japan are regularly denied (as are people from other parts of the world). Japan is one of the most difficult countries in the world to emigrate to, even for skilled people who speak the language (if you are neither, you have pretty much zero chance unless you marry a Japanese person and even then it's not a sure thing) even though they're in dire need of younger people.
This not putting the well-being of their people before all else, this is putting their desire for ethnic purity above all.

Ha. That's a laugh. Lolz.

Right. So in a few generations, the problems with funding social safety nets that we've (supposedly) been kicking down the road with immigration will come home to roost anyway. Except then, we'll have demographics resembling the late Ottoman Empire. Sounds like an excellent plan. Thank god we have enlightened people making policy (and apologizing for those that make policy).

Really? So you are saying race even at a genetic level does not exist?
I am not saying the science and all the ocean of facts it has uncovered does not exist..That would be your side.
