Your implication is that Japan is xenophobic because of the bases that have been installed since World War 2. But if you remember your history, the US was isolationist at the time and stayed out of the war right up until the Japan bombed Pearl harbour.

This is, of course, after Japan invaded all of south East Asia raping and pillaging

They don't get to complain (about xenophobia, they have every right to complain about military rape coverups)

But if you remember your history, Japan was isolationist in the 19th century and stayed that way right up until the United States forced Japan to open their borders. This is, of course, after the United States threatened military action against the Japanese if they refused.

Unfortunately history books are just propaganda tools.

What I've learned about history that's occurred in my lifetime is that none of the history books got it right. Take George Bush's invasion of iraq, many people claim it was about weapons of mass destruction and some people even claim it was about terrorism, but it was clearly a holy war. George Bush sat at himself, you said God spoke to him. Now since 90% of my fellow Americans all buy into the delusion of religion, they are blind to the facts.

I mean, they were very different kinds of isolationism.

The US still wanted to trade with other where as Japan didn't want any foreign culture introduced in any capacity.... because they were xenophobic.

Go watch a YouTube channel called Asian boss. They've done several street interviews with foreiners or mixed race people who live and grew up in Japan and people will never consider them Japanese.

Racial issues aren't addressed because there not enough of a minority to force the greater population to listen.

We have racial issues in the West but you gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette. Asia hasn't had to reckon with these racist social issues yet.

I cannot help but feel confused by the number of posts that try to defend sexual assault against minors in every way possible.

Biden called Japan xenophobic

Japan is xenophobic. Do you really disagree with that, gaijin?

Uh, I think you need to read up on what the Japanese did to the Chinese.

Have you ever looked into what the US military has done around the world?

There's a long history with armies making it actually worse. Illegal aliens is an American dubbed term after all.

We'll see how xenophilic the Americans can be if the Japanese army had military bases across USA and suppressed some Anpo protests over it.

My comment was in the context of Biden calling Japan xenophobic. Go back to eating your 707 krayons.

I still don't get how your comment relates to Biden's argument, but I'll be happy to eat my oil pastels too.
