I don’t know which excerpt from the article to post here so I am just posting the link and you can read for yourself.
Anyway, i wish I had had this to discuss when i did the JET program. I would have liked to throw it in their faces.
Has anyone here tried to discuss this with a japanese person? I was completely disgusted with their ideas of racial purity.
I know that this article is a bit old, but Japan remains the same place.
It all makes me sick. I wish they would realize that the human race is one big family.

…
I repeat, this was a statement from the
Liberal Democratic Party

What’s wrong with the name? The Japanese don’t like foreigners liberally. If they had to take a vote, you’ll find that they’ll vote that they don’t like foreigners…liberally.
