Is Cultural Enrichment Coming to Japan?
28th August 2016
Japan has long been held up as a role model for those who oppose mass immigration into Western countries. The Japanese have managed to create and maintain a prosperous high-tech economy without importing millions of culture-enrichers. Like the West, the Japanese face a catastrophic demographic decline, but they have not responded to the aging of their population by inviting in a horde of illiterate young third-worlders.
As a result, they don’t have any terrorist attacks. Funny how that works.
One of the proposed solutions for global fiscal anemia is that Japan should change its immigration policies and allow in significantly more migrants. It worked so well for Germany and Britain — why shouldn’t the Japanese jump on the bandwagon? The head of Japan’s central bank is apparently trying to persuade Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of the wisdom of importing youngsters en-masse from the Third World. Cultural enrichment plus financial enrichment — what could possibly go wrong?
I predict that this won’t happen. Japan is one of the most quietly but firmly racist cultures in the world, by virtue of which they have one of the most homogeneous cultures in the world. I doubt that they want to give that up. If they import newcomers from anywhere it would be Korea, which is ethnically the closest nation with a surplus population; and even that would be resisted.
