> I am not sure in understand the issue, if Japanese want this, what’s the problem?

The problem is I’ve built my life here and they keep treating foreigners as a lesser life form. People here can unironically be standing next to me bitching about foreigners. Then turn to me and say something like “not you, you are fine.”

Clearly Japanese feel like they don't want immigrants or want very few of them, which is fine.

With these laws, they are pushing 99% of people out while saving face from being called racists.

I think every country should have a right over their borders. Japan wasn't built on multiculturalism like United States or Canada, so I'm not surprised.

That being said, I would probably think twice about traveling to Japan as a tourist.

Plenty of foreigners are in fact quite rude towards their new hosts though. It can and does bring out the worst in people, and I can't say I blame them.

The whole idea of naturalization is to assimilate into the new culture and become one of them. Far too many people just don't put in the effort to do that.

You are a guest in a home that belongs to others. You're not entitled to their indefinite hospitality
