Japan, immigration, population...

the_dazzled [Edit] [Delete] 09:40, 8 July '14

I really liked how culturally and racially homogenous it was.

Obviously thousands of subcultures within that, and there's plenty of western influence - but the whole experience was definitely Japanese.

Am I J-racist?

Apparently the ethnic make up of Japan is 98.5% Japanese, with Korean being the next largest group at 0.5%

In resisting immigration, and with slow birth rates, Japan lost 0.25 million from its population last year, and by 2060 40% of the population will be over 65. Surely a recipe for a state going bust.

I don't really have a specific point for discussion, as there's lots of meaty subjects here.

I mainly like Japan.
