> I’d behave like a guest [If I moved to Japan and got citizenship] for the rest of my life

Why would you want to be a guest in your own country for the rest of your life?

> I certainly would not make posts about how the locals are the real problem

That's not what the post said.

> they’re evil for not accommodating me.

What does "accommodating" mean? From what I can tell they just want to not be treated like a guest in their own country. Not a crazy request.

Taking citizenship in another country is comparable to being a new convert to a religion. Is it acceptable for people born and raised in the faith to treat new converts differently?

I really like your last point. its not a prefect analogy but it is pretty good. Another comparison that occurs to me is joining a club.

I think it's a bit more profound than that. Club membership doesn't change most people's identity. They aren't defined by it. On the other hand citizenship is one of the first descriptors used about a person formally. Check out how any Wikipedia article about a person from the last couple centuries begins - "<Person name> is/was a <nationality or citizenship> <profession or thing they are notable for>."

"Sir Mohamed Muktar Jama Farah (born Hussein Abdi Kahin) is a British former long-distance runner."[2]

		I agree. It is more profound than joining a club, but conversion to a religion is primarily about beliefs. Analogies are never perfect.
