Low birthrate and ageing population pose ‘an urgent risk to society’, but can opening its borders to skilled overseas workers fix the problem?

    Even white guys would never be able to assimilate with them. You are never Japanese even if you are half, even when you born in Japan move to overseas and come back to Japan — you are treated as an outsider.

      Europe is the more or less same to be honest. You are never completely assimilated unless you look and speek the same as locals.

        I think that is because you can’t really compare a country that’s for the most part populated with it’s natives (at least for the last centuries) versus a country that basically removed it’s natives and was populated from the beginning with people from different nations (like the USA, Australia or Canada). Immigration works differently when you integrate into a country that’s made out of immigrants. Versus a country where the natives are still living there as a majority.

      Nah they accept foreigners as long as they speak the language. If anything halfies are often treated better due to their good looks.
