Japan is a western country, but not a white country.
Aside from Osaka, all the cities in the top ten have large numbers of immigrants:
Melbourne (also Sydney and Adelaide) 51% (the figure is for Australia),
Vancouver 42%,
Zurich (also Geneva) 40% (the figure is for Switzerland),
Vienna 30%,
Copenhagen 27% (the figure is for Denmark), and
Auckland 23% (the figure is for New Zealand).
The problem isn’t race or immigration, it’s illegal aliens and migrants who don’t learn the national language and who don’t support themselves through work or otherwise.
If you live in Denmark you have to be careful not to cross the border to Sweden.
Its like saying during the cold war, West Berlin is a nice city to live in, but beware crossing that wall.
“The problem isn’t race or immigration, it’s illegal aliens and migrants who don’t learn the national language and who don’t support themselves through work or otherwise.”
A very good point. What’s happened is that our nation has been overwhelmed by foreigners; too many, too quickly to properly assimilate. We’ve in addition been indiscriminate about who we let in. The result is a permanent underclass of angry misfits, which is destabilizing as all hell.
I spent a fair amount of time in Australia a few years ago.
Most of the time was with friends who had immigrated their in the 1960’s when only people of European heritage were encouraged to immigrate.
Essentially, what happened is the country was run by the party of country people, and the powerful politicians were those with large farms/ranches/stations who made their wealth from agriculture.
After the 1970’s the labor party was able to guilt trip the country party into allowing vast numbers of non-European heritage people to immigrate to the cities. By the middle of the 1980’s, the votes had shifted to the cities. The Left became the dominant power, and the governance of Australia went downhill fast.
My experience is Australian prices are about 1.5-3 times prices in America (a few years ago), and they tend to follow the trajectory of England. Very sad.
