Id argue its not a relligion thing. Its a culture thing

agreed

Typically those go hand in hand though.

Japan is very xenophobic

And they also wiped out most of their christians in the feudal states period

Made sense, Christianity was a threat to their system

Which is my point, their culture is one on pride

what xenophobic even means?
if you dont want to be over run by immigrants you are xenophobic?

literally the definition, jasse

They respect and love their culture

Also I didnt mean it negatively so no need te be defensive

if by "fear of being overrun by immigrants" you mean hate any and all immigrants all together then yes?

xenophobia is believing the existence of other peoples is a threat to your own, especially when existing in proximity.

Its easier to say xenophobic than being nationalistic and wanting to preserve it

they dislike people not their own

China is the best example of xenophobic country meeting a bitter demise over a century long period.

they might like you, even admire you....but from over there

Well thats pretty much japan. They just dont like non japs in their country

you can be over there

But they dont mind if you visit

exactly, "hey, i love you guys....but ah, just stand over there. go be awesome people over there"

In fact they love visitors, just dont live there

they have a problem with classism tho

like they literally treat their garbage men and people like that as second class citizens if i remember

BE SALARYMAN!

Think you mixing them up with china

They do have shitty jobs though. Just never heard of their classist system.

you sure? because china treats everyone as second class citizens if you are not part of the government lol

the UK has a classist culture

culture, not system

I meant chinese. They the sort to say if you dont study, you become garbageman

they are not literally second class citizens, they are just treated like that

And I see alot of thay even in singapore and malaysi

i think that might be a trend in asian countries

like period

part of that "get educated or you are failure" mentality found in a lot of them

view things like farming and garbage collecting as bad.

which i find very ironic, given that should either of those jobs just stop being done, things get very uncivilized very quickly

Menial jobs ypu mean

If they made farming more machine based

like we could live with less CEOs, but farmers and garbage men?
