If this was in the UK, there’d be a fear among certain groups that the “native” population was going to be replaced by immigrants. I wonder if there’s anything similar in Japan?
Speaking very broadly here, I define conservatism as needing an out of power group to shame/ostracize. Looking at Japan, 98% of the population is ethnically Japanese. 2% is immigrants. Hell I bet most of the people reading this already know the Japanese word for outsider without me even having to say it. It’s a lock that Japanese conservatives are every bit as shitty as English or American conservatives.
Nah, like most instances, it’s a smaller ruling class that imposes it’s culture over the local populations who they’ve invaded; More conversion than replacement.
Well, yeah I guess it is in a way. But more like framing it as a negative thing, a fear of the loss of Japanese values and culture as the foreigners bring in their own.

Ho boy, wait until you find out about how xenophobic Japan is.

Sure.

I don’t. What is the word?
Gaijin. I think this knowledge was much more common on the internet a long time ago tbh.
The most common one is “Gaijin” which is the impolite word for foreigner.
Japanese ultranationalists love a good political assassination

That happened a long long time ago in the UK, in like 40 AD or so.

Japans immigration is actually surprisingly strict no ? I feel as the population ages more and more those laws will get a little more lax.
I mean, that’s literally what’s happening? I’m not sure what you mean there.
I’m not sure how 2% of the population being immigrants is replacing the native population.
2% today, but if the trend continues though
you know it’s gonna die anyways since the population growth rate is declining in an all time low right?
That’s a problem that came be fixed. But to those who like Japan and Japanese culture, immigration is not something that can be undone.
Well, yeah I guess it is in a way. But more like framing it as a negative thing, a fear of the loss of Japanese values and culture as the foreigners bring in their own.
But if you like Japan as it is, that’s a valid concern. It’s not immigrants magically forget where they come from.
