8.7% is not a majority. Learn some basic math, chump.
From a 19th century Japanese’s point of view, late 20th century Japanese don’t have much in common with them.
Doesn’t matter how many foreigners live in a country, culture will change over time.
Standard faire xenophobia and racism. Expected from Sanseito.
If they speak Japanese, know Japanese history, follow Japanese cultural trends, what changes about Japan?
Since the speaker is talking about babies, I assume he only cares about the ethnicity. I guess that’s their biggest sin.
I guess it depends on if you look at the state or the nation.
100% the state of Japan would remain as the state of Japan.
Jomon people thought the same when the Yayoi people arrived with their culture, maybe. Dunno. Yamato people weren’t specially created. Culture, humans is in constant evolution. Japanese people can choose how they want their society to evolve or die off. Dying off isn’t going to happen soon but probably conservatives 150 years ago were probably pissed how Japan was moving toward westernization and claiming it was the end. For better or worse, turned out fine. Some people wearing western clothes are pissed seeing an Indian girl born and raised in Japan wearing a Kimono for coming age ceremony. Sanseito has nothing concrete but slogans. They prefer to see Japan slowly slipping into irrelevancy than mixing. Human history is littered with societies thinking they were special only to disappear.
8.7 percent is not a majority. Maybe Japan’s math education is not that good
history shows us that fear of change always works out well for countries…
8.7 percent of one neighborhood in Japan’s biggest city. The ridiculousness of this question. That Japan has arguments about this says a lot about the irrational fear of outsiders the country has.
On the other hand, it’s a potential 8.7% more people to work, pay taxes and support the pensions of the elderly.
The interesting ‚benefit‘, if we can call it that, of having a centre-right governing party with a leader that is rhetorically nationalist is that they get to crowd out a lot of the nationalist votes to prevent the actual batshit nationalists from getting into power while being forced ro pursue policies that align with the entire party’s vision.
What is sanseito doing to make Japanese have more babies ?
Ethnical tribalism brought to its logical conclusion.
The issue is not the number of ‚foreign‘ babies, but the lack of Japanese ones 🙄
Sanseitō, if the basis of your culture is in your DNA, then why aren’t you embracing your African heritage? Japanese culture is not a set of genetic traits; it’s a long history of philosophical and cultural traditions kept alive in large part by sharing them with the world. If people have come here to have their children raised amongst that rich culture, why is it so important to refuse them access to it?
People born and raised in Japan will be every bit as Japanese regardless of the color of their skin or where their parents came from. If Japanese culture is so weak and fragile that the mere presence of people with other cultures will erode it into nothing, then how is it worth keeping? If it’s so easy to replace, then why not let it fade?
Sanseitō, what you are saying is that the Japanese spirit is made of ephemeral and fickle stuff and that it isn’t grounded on anything substantial. Do you really think so little of Japanese culture? Are you really so worried that people won’t want to keep it after being immersed in it?
I have never in all my years in Japan heard people who think Japanese culture is so unstable and so easily forgotten. Honestly, I think there’s no one who has a lower opinion of Japanese culture than the Sanseitō party. If you love your country, trust in its strength, and embrace the people who have chosen to raise their children in it. Welcome them as brothers and sisters, and show us that the Japanese heart is more than a few genes in a person’s DNA.
