It's a dog whistle for "if a country's racial identity remained pure everything would've been fine".

It's nothing to do with race. You need to gain the mindset that not everything is about race.

If it’s nothing to do with race, then why is a country with four official languages being called “homogeneous”?

		Why do people say China is “homogenous” when people speaking Cantonese can’t understand people speaking Mandarin? It’s because those groups of people have been part of a common polity off and on since the Qin dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. Similarly, Switzerland has been a thing, in various forms, since French and Italian were considered different dialects of vulgar Latin. The groups that speak the four different languages nonetheless share 800+ years of common political and social history.

It’s a bullhorn, not a dog whistle. I just hate this bullshit being stated as if it was a basic fact everyone agrees with.

		People talking about dog whistles constantly state that as if it's fact, instead of them just being race-brained.

		Because of Japan. A rigid culture and tradition can obviously carry a lot of weight, but usually comes with intense racism as well.
