Anime characters being White is not racist. And in Japan, they actually make their skin more White, because in the past, the rich would have white skin, whereas the peasants would have darker skin because they were out in the sun, working the farms, so having whiter skin, makes them seem more prestigious.
Japan being Japanese is not racist, it's perfectly fine for a people to actually focus on their own people.
Who cares if some people experience some racism, we are not from Japan, we have no right to be there, thus if they don't want us there, that is perfectly fine.
So Japanese people holding rallies for tougher immigration laws is now racist, how dare they have freedom of speech and want their country to be for their people.
There government is fine, we shouldn't impose our western values upon them.
Yeah, they should fix their population growth, tho immigration would only worsen it, having millions of third worlders in the country would only hurt the country and their people.
Yes, I know the Asian obsession with pale skin, bleaching your skin to be paler and more beautiful. I did say it is not unusual that there are few black people in anime due to the low populations.
Not immigration laws. Hate speech. As in "get rid of all the dirty gaijin from my country". It is a big problem in Japan. They even introduced new laws to stop hate speech (but no penalties for violating them, apparently.)
Even the Prime Minister, Abe, said that hate speech was a problem, that it was regrettable and affected the dignity of the entire country, and its people.
"Who cares if some people experience racism" "Japan being Japanese is not racist". You literally just said they experience racism.
Foreign people have every right to be in Japan, so long as we abide by the laws, cultures, and customs of the country, why should any foreigner be made to feel unwanted, hated, and unwelcome?
I don't see how immigration would hurt their population. Its literally bringing more people into the country, who will be able to marry and have children there. Hence helping the birthrates. Because the low birthrates is purely a Japanese thing.
Women want to have careers and be successful. When people get married it's expected they'll have kids right away. And the women are expected to quit their job to raise the kids. So many opt not to get married at all.
You say, just let japan be japan:
Well, you can say that. I think meddling in other countries is honestly, pointless if you don't live there anyway.
But regardless, Japan is still very racist and that is a plain fact.
