Up to that point relations between America and Japan were cordial. Both were Allies during WWI. But Japan’s reaction set it on a path that ultimately led to Pearl Harbor.

Its ironic that 1924 Japan, the most racially “pure,” nationalistic and arguably the most xenophobic/racist country in the world would criticize the USA on its immigration policies.

We hear similar hypocrisy from countries like China and others in 2024. They don’t care about their outright hypocrisy, they just want to shame the USA.

Re: "Japan's reaction [to INA 1924] set it on a path that ultimately led to Pearl Harbor."

Before 1924, how many white Americans and white Europeans were allowed to become Japanese citizens?

In 1924, what percentage of the Japanese population was Black African?
