to which the former Prime Minister Taro Aso (1940-), in 2020, notably claimed in an election campaign speech that “No other country but this one has lasted for as long as 2,000 years with one language, one ethnic group and one dynasty”." [1] Yeah, and so what? What was so special about this? Taro is the one trying to qualify this as something positive. The only reason Japan even exists today is because the US let it exist. Japan was destroyed after WW2. The US rebuilt it. Now with less guidance from the US, it's destroying itself again. If racist homogeneous Japan was so great, why did it get so smashed? I personally think the culture is still trying to get over this humiliation. I don't think they will ever get over it honestly. Aso is such a dinosaur. There are more Indians working in Kombinis now than ever, and that's going to only get worse. Maybe if they had a more progressive and slow moving immigration policy 20 years ago, they would've had better ways to integrate these people and protect their culture. But yeah, "who would've thought the population would go backwards, how would Aso have planned for it?" lol |
