i live in Canada. i saw a Japanese and an Indian (the language gave it away) waiting for the bus to arrive. the Japanese by instinct lined up after seeing two people ahead of him, as I was then behind. The Indian just proceeded to board the bus right away and ignored the ad hoc line created. not sure, but the difference of culture, behaviour, and mindset stretches beyond what the ordinary eyes can see... if Japan opens immigration, it should be very wary these cultural and behavioural changes.

The US stopped large scale immigration in the 1920s for 40 years, including from Europe specifically because of the unrest between immigrant groups, specifically Italians and Russians as well as other Central and Eastern Europeans like Serbs and Croats bringing their grievances, and ethnic tensions and unrest with them to the US. We needed the upheaval of the depression and war to assimilate them into the US fully, and even then ethnic cultures and norms from Europe linger to an extent. Countries have every right to choose who and how many people live in their nations.

This is the real problem that people talk about when discussing "'problematic' immigration". Immigration is not an issue in any way, period. The problem is that immigration is treated as a band-aid to hide societal issues away. The reason why Europe and the US seem to have so much of a problem with immigration is not because of immigration itself, but because nothing is done to solve the social issues plaguing those countries (which themselves will exist and intensify with or without immigrants). Japan is being sold this idea that "immigration is the cure to al societal ills", but once people realize it isn't, they will turn the table around and blame immigrants for all societal ills, even if, in actuality, immigrants have not done anything to worsen social issues in any way. The problem is not immigration. The problem is that immigration is treated as a political strawman to shy away from the discussion of actual social issues.

People are way too sensitive. Biden is right, though he didn’t put it diplomatically. Japan’s problems are most easily addressed by immigration. Would immigration cause its own set of problems? Yes, that’s how all political policy works. Nothing is without price, every decision benefits some and costs others. Certainly, there are other ways for Japan to address their problems (and those ways would also create a new set of problems) but Japan doesn’t seem willing to make the non-immigration policy changes either. At some point they have to make a choice, and not making a choice is a choice-eventually, those other options will not work in time and Japan will only have immigration as a solution to their problems.

It leads to mutual alienation, unrest, and civil strife. Neo-liberal policies destroy nations, destroy cultures, destroy civilisation. Nations become great civilisations through struggle and suffering. Liberalism removes necessary suffering, necessary barriers to licentiousness and excess. We in the West have become addicted to excess and it will destroy us. We have become addicted to comfort and it will destroy us. Nations, religions, traditions only survive if there is a willingness to overcome and to struggle through deprivation. Remove deprivation, turn the people into screen addicts, and the people will stop reproducing.

Yup, exactly what was said in the first two minutes. Japan is afraid of too many foreign cultures disrupting the built up culture Japanese people have, which is similar to China as well. Except China is less-kind and more open about foreigners - it's all about respecting the customs in the country your in. And if foreigners coming into your country aren't respecting Japanese customs and traditions, it's going to be hard for the native people there to accept any more foreigners to, in their eyes, have to deal with. Whereas America is built up of different people and different cultures of tons of different backgrounds, it's a different country and can't be run the same as Japan.

To respect other people and their culture is necessary. But know this: Mass import third world culture, and you mass import third world problems. I say this as someone living in a third world country, the problems we face (and bring abroad if quality control is not well done in the countries people immigrate to) are deep rooted and cultural. An example can be seen in Europe. Japanese people, try to be respectful and kind to individuals you meet no matter what the ethnicity, but do not feel bad about maintaining quality control when it comes to accepting immigrants. Don't just let anyone in because others call you xenophobic if you don't. It's a very important factor to keep in mind.

The US only cares about what is popular right now, not what is good in the long term. This is far more common in such a western "democracy". Also, keep out western influence on your people in culture...because they will use them to make Japan like the west in this way.

There's no difference between me, a non native Brit, and an immigrant but for a piece of paper. I managed to integrate just fine. But tell me: What is "British culture"? How far back do you want to go? Is it Roman? Is it French? What about the time when the Island was split into multiple different Kingdoms? You can't tell me the Northumbrians had the same culture as those of Wessex. Even today, North and South are culturally different.

I'm a foreigner living in Japan and I agree with the Japanese sentiment.Japan is NOT racist. Japan loves foreigners and the West. But it's Japan's RIGHT to protect itself and its people, culture, history etc. Look at what having "open borders" did to the US and Europe. Look at the unemployment and crime rates. Look at the amount of violence and uncivilized people. The beautiful, safe and rich Japan that I love is being threatened, just because of pressure from countries like the US to "be more open" or "stop being racist". "Political correct" bullsh*t. People coming to Japan should be AWARE that they are coming to Japan. Not a US state, or European country. Just because it's natural for you to walk around your house in underwear, you wouldn't do that while in someone else's house, would you? Just because you can do something in your country, doesn't mean you are also allowed to do it in another. This is an issue of DISRESPECT, IGNORANCE and LAZINESS. BE MINIMALLY MINDFUL of a country's social rules when you're visiting, and have the DECENCY to have some restraint, and will to LEARN about the country, so that both YOU and the locals can enjoy eachother's presence, and have a great experience. When you come to Japan and act like an uneducated fool, remember, YOU'RE REPRESENTING your country!!! Stay strong Japan❤

When I was in Japan, I found no problems worth mentioning. I was polite and respectful to others and they were right back to me. I was 6'3" and 240ish pounds and many were kind of shocked when I would suddenly appear near them on the street of on the JR Lines. But once people saw I was no threat and was friendly, I got into many great conversations and met new friends. I did find out that many apartments will not rent out to foreigners because of past, repeated experiences with them. Namely American tourists and temporary residences are loud, unclean and failed to pay rent. So if you go to Japan, here's some suggestions. 1) Learn at least SOME Japanese before going. In 'Merica we complain if someone is not speaking English. Why should another country feel any differently about their national language? At least TRY to learn common greetings and honors. It goes a long way just seeing you trying to speak Japanese. 2) This isn't 'Merica. Be polite and caring. Stop thinking you are the center of the Universe. You are the minority now so show them you embrace the culture and country. 3) Stop throwing trash on the ground. Keep your apartment or home clean and neat. Learn to sort your recyclables because it's mandatory. Just stop being pigs. 4) STOP BEING SO LOUD! Turn the radio and TV down. Stop using your loud 'Merican voice and lower it a few decibels. There's a lot to learn about this kind of curtesy so pay attention around you. I really have no cares for people that keep bringing up "What about WW2?". Japan is a different place now and the people and culture are amazing. Those who are stuck in the "What about" discussions, I can tear them a new a** about some of the things 'Merica has done. Can we start with genocide to start and spread the country? See? Off to a good start! Every country has its problems. No where is Utopia. But you wanted to be there. So damn it, be the new face they see when someone talks about foreigners. Make people think all good when they see you and be the representative for America. You can help change the negatives into positives.

After living in Japan for a few years, Japan is most definitely xenophobic without question. Are there friendly and courteous people? Yes. Are there people whom you can even make friends with? Most definitely! Does it change the fact that you can't even get an apartment solely because you're a foreigner regardless of how long you've lived in Japan or your Japanese ability? No. Japan should stay as Japan but I don't think it's hard to treat people with respect and not treat foreign residents as 'guests' or have us be seen with the same eyes as one would look at a rare animal in a zoo.

Life has always been tough in Japan. After World War 2, Japanese barely had enough food and worked long hours for very low wages just to stay alive. Yet, they had large families after the war (not immediately but a few years later when they had begun to recover). South Korea similar - they were desperately poor in the 1960s yet were having such large families that the dictatorship decided to discourage it, a stupid mistake in retrospect as we can see today now that Korea has the lowest birth rates in the world. It was women entering the work force in both countries that killed the family. Prior to that, women were almost totally stay at home moms who lived with the in-laws and obeyed their husbands as per ancient tradition. Sooner or later, I believe the pendulum will swing back and they will find a more "modern" way to have families again, hopefully before it is too late.

Take a look at the 3 "happiest" countries in the world, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Surely their birth rates must be better right? Wrong. They actually are only just barely doing better than Japan. So what does that tell us? If the economy was really the issue then why aren't birth rates booming in the places mentioned above? The true reason for why birth rates are declining is people's priorities have changed, society doesn't care about the family unit anymore, they would rather live chasing after fantasies and selfish pursuits. The family unit is the cornerstone of society and civilization, if the family is neglected and devalued, then society and civilization are not gonna last very long, and immigration is NOT a solution. Also abortion and contraception don't help either, these are quite literally population killers and they are killing off the futures of many societies including Japan.

Japan is slowly accepting foreign workers on their pace. The amount of visa holders is increasing year by year and Japanese people are in agreement, Japan needs foreign workers. But that doesn’t mean Japan is accepting Immigrants, the people coming to Japan are foreign workers. They are there on contract, once they finish their contract they leave. That’s probably why they are saying we will not leave. Biden is saying Japan is xenophobic because they can’t accept immigrants to enter the country, and he mentions that’s what made America great. But you also need to see that blindly accepting immigrants isn’t good, there should be some regulation in place, or you would be like Europe.

I would not compare a lot of what Europe's problems are with immigration....refugees are a completely different issues...Japan should not and seems like they will never take these on broadly. Immigration as Japan stands now is a bit archaic, realistically impossible to become a Citizen is a bit odd compared to other 1st worlds. Why is it all your foreigners are poorly paid English teachers? The only other sector I even see people work in is IT outside of this. Granted why one would want a normal job in Japan is beyond me, worse pay, cant use half of your PTO if you want to have respect and promotion chances and longer hours. I keep Japan as a travel destination been 5 times so far and it is a great time, Living there seems like a bit of a nightmare once the honeymoon phase would wear off. However even some this is slowly changing so who knows where they will be in 10 years.

As a spouse of a Japanese national in general I disagree with that Japanese are xenophobic. Are Japanese ethnocentric? Slightly but definitely not xenophobic. To prove this just look at how they embrace other cultural values such as French cooking techniques, American style film, German style toolmaking and watchmaking, Italian food and culture. The list goes on virtually forever. So a broad and arbitrary statement from the leader of the “Free World”.

@@1EnZBosS1I don’t think it’s a bad argument at all and contrarily think it’s a perfect argument. Not all countries embrace other countries food exclusively because of being Xenophobic so your counter point is simply arbitrary and invalidated. Also I didn’t solely list Japan and food but also craft from Germany. There are a vast number of things of all different kinds that Japan has adopted from many countries and another example I listed was from the U.S. regarding film and cinema so please stop cherry picking what I’m listing.

Xenophobia -"The fear or dislike of anything which is perceived as being foreign or strange." This video proves Biden's point. However, it's not just Japan. It's just that some cultures are more hospitable and open than others. We're not made the same. We've had different experiences with foreign elements and based on our ancestors'perceptions of them, a culture of isolation or inclusiveness has been ingrained into society.But in an increasingly globalized world it is much more advantageous to be strategically open than not. Any country that shuts itself to others, will be shut out in return.

As an American living in the USA I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard Joe say 1 intelligent thing. Thankfully for Japan Joe doesn’t control Japan. Japanese citizens should be able to decide for themselves if they want to allow more immigrants to live in their country after all Japan belongs to Japan and not Joe or the rest of the world. Joe just likes to use buzz words (xenophobic) to try to get whatever he wants. I’m Caucasian and have visited Japan 4 times before. I have behaved respectfully and always have been treated with respect. They are nice people. They are not xenophobic or racist.

I'm currently studying in Kansai, and I don't think Japan should increase immigration to the levels of America, Canada or other western countries. I'm from a rural town in Ontario, Canada. It has annual festivals and you can hear the sound of bagpipes playing in the summer. But before I left to Japan, too many people from the big cities were moving in and my hometown was already different from when I grew up. Will I still hear those bagpipes in 30 years? Even in the big cities, people aren't mixing into a single culture, they just live like bubbles and ignore each other. Like little countries. They don't want to become Canadian, they just want money. There's so many new people (gaining ~500 K people per year) that people are struggling to get a part-time coffee job. My culture is disappearing, and Canada's government sold out its people.... don't listen to Biden. Be proud of your culture, protect it, and find your own solution to depopulation. がんばって

You're not supposed to have dual citizenship so why would it be anything but very hard? There whole need to "replace its aging workforce" is just a myth also. The state needs more workers to be able to fulfill the promises it made to older generations. As far as any young person should be concerned, there's no need to fulfill said promises and as a result there's also no problem with a declining population.

1. Biden committed a major diplomatic blunder by speaking out-loud. 2. While Japanese people may treat foreigners well, it doesn't mean they are not xenophobic. Even people with parents from other countries who were born and raised in Japan and have lived there all their lives, are considered foreigners and have a different legal status. 3. There is no comparison between illegal immigration numbers in Japan and illegal immigration numbers in the US, or legal immigration numbers, for that matter. Although it's a long process to residency and then citizenship, the US has a clearly defined and eventually accessible path to citizenship. I have lived it. I'm a naturalized American and enjoy EVERY right and obligation as any other American who was born in the US, or outside of it, even if only one of their parents is American. The same cannot be said of Japan. 4. It looks to me like this outrage boils down to cultural differences: Even if Biden's remark is accurate in my eyes, a Japanese would never say something, even if it's true, that might offend the other person or county. Biden's remark leaves no room for Japan to 'save face'. The fact there is some truth in his remark makes it even harder to swallow.

Unless Japan can address the reasons that people aren't having more children, I don't know why anyone thinks that immigrants would magically not be affected by them. The immigrants may arrive with more children or have more children themselves after they arrive, but within a generation or two they'll become people who were born and raised in Japan that will also be dealing with the same long work hours, economic uncertainty, the inability to find affordable family housing where the jobs are, the pressure to send any children they do have to expensive private schools and all the other issues that discourage the natives from having larger families and I don't see why most of them wouldn't end up making similar choices.
