There's a big difference between going to another country as a tourist and living in another country.

Seriously, if you're going to live in another country then you should learn the language.

You can't live in another country and expect everyone to cater to you in your language. It's common sense.

Now to counteract your statement.

America for the Americans! So give us back our music, fashion, food, and stop coming over to be a tourist.

You can't have it both ways my dear Japanese friends.

Largely because they are insecure and afraid. There cultures are still primitive even though they are making technological advancements. Korea & Japan are products of this.

This thought process is from a typical uneducated Jap. There is no such thing as homogeneity, Jap is a country with various cultures dating right back to their origins. From the Nth down to the Sth their facial features are completely different. Their language comes from China and their spoken language is structured similarly like the Korean language, so don't be so fuckin proud. Japan copies and imitates everything from Europe and the West. There are so many Jap livin o/seas as well.

@jisangNY1 Considering I made this comment perhaps a year ago I'll entertain your reply but just this once. I'm not a lib. I am a person with my own thoughts silly person labels are for kids. You have trouble makers no matter what ethnicity, not race,anyone is. Let's look at why they do the things they do, do they not get the respect they deserve is that why? It's an individuals decision to do evil not group thought. Let the decision of one not be the decision of all. Ciao.

In this comment I think something is wrong.

The western nations push to become multicultural.

But they people are dont whant to to that. Or less, there eweryday day more people think that. I dont whant multicultural country, I whant to defend our blood and have pride for our country. Not need any multicultural jews,black,asian,arab etc...We are fine from more than 1000years, we like to stay the same more 1000years.

i dont get why western nations want to become multicultural but asian countries dont.

Japan should integrate like the other 1st world countrys. Is not fair that their some countrys that are so integrate they loose their identity and others that are not

Japan for the Japanese!
