These dudes are more viciously racist than some western fascists. Same old master race story too. If you aren’t born Japanese in Japan, you don’t belong according to them

    Why is their incarceration rate so low though? 17 times lower than America's (.639% vs .038% of the population), which doesn't say much itself since the US is the highest in the world, but Japan is also one of the lowest in the world too (see here and here)

      Because they're so racist they don't allow anyone to immigrate in. Having no minorities to jail because you keep them out might be the only positive thing from that shit island.

        That's probably a big part of it. But Japan is like 2% immigrants while China is only 0.1%, and China has about twice the relative prisoners

          China has a lower % of immigrants because it has a huge population and wasn't seen as a desirable place to live not too long ago - it still isn't seen as desirable to a lot of people. China is also a poorer country, meaning more criminality and incarceration. These latter factors being a lot more important in terms of policing and criminality than immigration.

            The last part makes a lot of sense. The first part is also because China has very strict immigration policies, only recently did they make things more lenient for foreigners with major contributions/those with high-incomes to become citizens, and the vast majority of their refugees are all from Vietnam in the 70s

        Wut? Are you saying that the crime rate is low because there are no minorities? The crime rate is low in Japan because people commit less crime there, what do minorities have to do with anything?
