I agree. What is multiculturalism and multiracialism? It's actually monoculturalism and monoracialism.

we're all supposed to become alike and any difference is labelled as racist when in fact it's the multiculturalist and the multiracialist who are the real racists,

I dunno, but shouldn't somebody point out that there are different ethnicities of Koreans in Korea? Ever notice that some have very dark skin and others not?

There are only two races in the world. The Scots and those that wish they were. Don't you forget it.

Very Happy

Is Japan any less racist and exclusive than Korea. Not on your life. In Korea I'm a Waeguk in Japan a Gaijin.

Multiculturalism is a form of genocide. Destroy whoever they want to at the time and replace them with someone else. That whole concept looks really bad.

The remarkable thing is that Korea has not reacted xenophobically to this report. I've read editorials in the Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo and Hankyoreh and all have been entirely positive, accepting the criticism as valid and admitting that the problem has been known for some time but not dealt with as thoroughly as it could have been.

I see this as quite heartening, and entirely to Korea's credit.

israel is multicultural considering the vast majority of the jewish population didn't live there 60 years ago, they have come from all over europe and russia. If u want to talk about them stealing palestine from the natives thats another issue

America was mostly a white nation and it became the most powerful nation on earth. Japan is also mainly one ethnic group and has become the second largest economy. Sorry, but the idea that multiculturalism and multiracialism will lead to "Hub" korea is not logical.


As far as Japan and their economic growth is concerned, you might want to talk to some Korean War vets for their opinon on the topic. Most will tell you that the U.S. had a lot to do with the development of the Japanese industrial complex as it was an integral part of the Korean War.


Japan basically imported the whole set of inventions and technology from the west from the late 19th century. everyone knows that. Keep in mind, though that all countries do that.

No country on earth created all of their own technology. It's impossible. we all copy. europeans copy also. copying is the smart thing to do. That's not the issue. My point was that japan became successful as a monoracial and monocultural society that was influenced by outside cultures (which as I said all cultures are). There is no history of multicultural and multiracial success in japan either.

The whole ideology of multicuturalism and multiracialism is basically a huge experiment. There is no, as of yet, any evidence that this system will work. we have many examples, in eastern europe, france and other western european countries and africa, and elsewhere, that shows that this does not work.

In fact, for example, yugoslavia was broken up along ethnic lines, (we're not even talking racial divisions here) and europe is rethinking its immigration policies.

it actually reminds me of the exuberance before communism in the early 20th century when people thought communism would bring paradise. we know that it looked good on paper but in reality it was madness and chaos.
Japan's economy has been stagnent for some time mainly due to the obsession with preserving their culture. they need new ideas and people to stay ahead of china, but it isn't going to happen they can't decide on what they want to do and have had a sucession of weak governements and ultra slow growth and they will suffer the consequences of not acting fast enough for MANY years to come. The only thing japan has going for themselves is their car industry and there is no garentee that will last forever.
