Thank you very much guys for giving us useful information about Japan, it is very important and interesting. We are looking forward to new videos from you about this wonderful country. Thank you.
In modern times, a small group of Kazan Tatar refugees were allowed after the Russian Revolution in 1920s, Korean War Refugees in the 1950s, and Indo-China Refugees in the 1970s. We allowed the Tatars to stay but never gave them citizenship, and many of them eventually migrated to Turkey and the US after WWII. And Korean War refugees is why Japan rejects 99% of asylum cases. We allowed too many Koreans who entered illegally to stay in Japan, which resulted a lot of crime and social issues. The last thing we wish to see is ethnic ghettos aka parallel societies. The social and criminal trauma was too large, we never accepted any other refugees. In short, Japanese society has zero need for foreigners who cannot adapt, assimilate, and integrate with Japan.
I think Japan has the right refugee policy. I'm from the netherlands and "refugees" here get priority on everything, free money to live off, free healthcare, and much more, that the dutch people have no acces to. And after getting all this, a lot of them still hate our country, refuse to learn our language and say they will never be dutch but will always be their old nationality. Lots of them now even go on vacation to the country they supposedly had to flee from. It's ridiculous, and I think Japan has the right idea with their policy, and they won't have these issues. Also, another thing I realy like about Japan is that they are very acommodating and quick to help out once you need a hand. I've only been to Sapporo but the people there were all super friendly and helpfull, even though I only speak a tiny bit of Japanese. And although I realy hope Japanese culture remains, I do love that a lot of signs and menus are (available) in English, and people are starting to speak English a bit as well. At least for tourism that makes things a lot easier. I always felt having to google translate menus and just pointing and saying "kore" with everything came off as rude, so just being able to order politely in English definitely seemed nicer for me.
sounds not fun at all i wonder if people in other countries in europe face the same situation you are describing, and yes i agree about the people of sapporo i live here haha
@@missplainjane3905 I took some lessons in Japanese, from a company in the netherlands called Kotatsu. They kinda cut a full course into smaller chunks so it's easier for people to do it bit by bit in their free time. If I learned kanji as well, I should be able to take the JLPT N5 exam, but atm I just don't have the money, nor the headspace to do it.
@@missplainjane3905 oh it was amazing. I was in Sapporo last year in february with Kotatsu, the company I learn Japanese at. And I returned there in october with my wife. It's beautifull, and I highly recommend everybody visit Sapporo in the fall. Now saving up for our next trip wich is likely going to be Okinawa :D
@@missplainjane3905 The food for sure. But also the mindfullness towards others, and the willingness to help. And the konbini's everywhere, I wish we could have that here. And strangely, Sapporo has a lot of people living there, but it never seemed obnoxiously loud, and even though there were cars driving in the city, the air still seemed fresher then it does in my city.
The only critique I have is that the stance of not being open to cultural acceptance makes Japanese culture homogenous and immutable, promoting exactly what lead to the war effort fanaticism. Xenophobic and alienating behaviours become natural to promote unlike the practicing of a more acceptance perspective. I see Japans side, been in both sides and can clearly tell that they are both equally right and wrong to be headstrong.
I think if the majority of the people of a country decide that they don't want too many foreigners/migrants,a we should respect that. You can't force people to do so.
@@firstamericanmanga6827 they need to do what they deem they need to do. Though it’s the attitude behind that which lead to the war atrocities they committed.
yes please take refugees in japan. you will love what will become of your country. its gonna be awesome. like the uk sweden france germany italy etc. its heaven here in europe. by the way im being sarcastic. its already bad with the tourists in japan. imagine having them permanently without speaking a word of your language and not giving 2 shits about your laws and traditions. like they do here in europe. lmao good luck japan. i like this girl. she should speak her mind freely and without any regret. you guys should come to south london or in rome on via palmiro togliatti ill show you what happens when you get all kinds of refugees in the country without any regulations or any control.
My late grandmother told me about those Horrific crime Japanese soldier did during their occupation in Singapore. The drop of atomic bomb was cruel and insane but problem was Japan wouldn't stop inhuman killing of young man, kids, babies, raping, torturing and so on. Even though they have already claim victory. Pearl harbour is Japan worst mistake or I can say.
Everything is a trade-off. Japon population is getting old because they want to preserve their culture and racial homogeneity , while countries like the US who also have their population getting older, are taking on many refugee who are able to replace the white and black population, changing the culture of the country.

Did you learn some basic words

Another great video and a great insight into japan's culture
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, good points. Miu got big balls for speaking her mind. Highkey I like that Japan doesn’t accept refugees or illegals.
why dont you like them accepting refugees?
@@missplainjane3905 Might? No no no, it will cause issues.

nope. they need to gatekeep their culture and way of life.

They need to keep the immigrants out as they won’t adapt to Japanese culture and end up ruining it.
@@kunikloy477 I totally agree. No one can force anyone to do anything until there is a war conflict. Japanese and Korean people know that very well.

I live in America and I’m sorry that the history of bombing happened 🥺. I wish it never happened. That said I love Japanese people and the culture 😊
she is right about refugees, just look at the crisis in sweden

Thank you for saying the thing about refugees, Europe is a mess, me and my wife decided to move out of england and raise our daughter in japan
How's the situation sir
Great video, great points. Absolutely agree with your take on refugees too.
