Yes, and what does this have to do with Asylum? Oh yes, Asylum seekers are simply criminals... I'll tell that to the fellow I know whose children are dead in Iraq because a bomb fell upon his house... I know he WOULDN'T be welcome in Japan.No doubt that the Japanese should be less discriminatory to foreigners.
I beg YOU to procure the source of any sort of data, study, or essay, even a rant that suggests this somewhere, anywhere... Just who is wanting them to be multi-cultural "new york"...? I'll remind you, when you walk off the plane in New York, Japanese or not, English speaking or not, and you begin living in New York--- you're considered a "New Yorker"... quite the contrast to how foreigners are treated in Japan.But I beg to differ with you … some people are asking them to become merely another multi cultural new york.
The problem is, that you don't seem to be understanding what complaints there are that people are actually levying.... You think that people want Japan to be one big melting pot, and by far, I've seen the opposite rant, that Japan is becoming "Too Westernized", and this is from foreigners...My feeling is that this would so change the character of japan that it would not be a good thing. But The japanese can decide for themsleves ...
How is the equitable treatment of legal foreigners in Japan NOT my business...? Nobody is asking Japan to let MORE foreigners in, just to treat the ones there in a fashion that respects their attempts at become a part of Japanese society... and further and to the main point of this thread, to accept asylum seekers, even if to Japan, they are simply unwanted as an undesirable race.I find westerners who criticize them for not doing so extremely arrogent and I feel they need to be taken down a notch or two for meddling in things which they have no business.
In short, nobody has ever said this, in the history of anything I've read on the problems of discrimination and immigration in Japan... it's just an utter falsehood, much like the majority of your assumptions.In short, if the japanese wish to become like multicultural new york that is their business -- but it is not ours.
