If America is so "racist", why doesn't the left ever criticize Japan?

[JGalt]

In Japan, 98.5% of the population is Japanese. Of the remaining 1.5%, only 0.02% are Black.

And yet, America is constantly criticized by the left for what they perceive to be "systemic racism."

Japan Isn't Very Ethnically Diverse​

"According to The Economic Times, “At the start of the 1600s, Japan’s rulers feared that Christianity – which had recently been introduced to the southern parts of the country by European missionaries – would spread.”

“In response, they effectively sealed the islands off from the outside world in 1603, with Japanese people not allowed to leave and very few foreigners allowed in. This became known as Japan’s Edo period, and the borders remained closed for almost three centuries until 1868.”

“98.5% of the population is Japanese,” Jubilee explained. “Of the remaining 1.5%, only 0.02% are Black.”

I have to say, with Americans continuing to elect democrats, it is hard to argue that America is not systemically racist.

Well, Democrats are good at perpetuating the myth that America is "systematically racist."

I'll say that much for them.

Even when they win elections

And people still believe them

American voters make sheep look like intellectual giants.

Unless you're living near the Toyota plant in Derbyshire, you probably won't have to worry about getting smacked. With the UK's population of 68.3 million and only 64,970 Japanese residents, That's only about 0.095%.

I have been to Japan three times. Twice (1966-67) on R&R while I was a soldier in Vietnam and once as civilian in 1979. I understand and respect their culture and I do not begrudge them for not allowing "whitey" stay at specific hotels in their country. But they really are racists deep in their bones and if you travel there you can feel it by the way they look at you and by the way they treat you.

Given the focus on American “racism”, l’m researching the topic in Latin America, which we never hear about.

They had more imported African slaves than North America.

That's a fact. Over 90% of those imported African slaves went to South America and the Caribbean.

We only got about 4% of them.

Because we are responsible for our own countries actions

We had 4 million slaves at the start of the Civil War.
Not something to brag about

 

[rightwinger]

They had more imported African slaves than North America.

Because we stopped importing slaves from Africa in 1808.
After that, we bred our own

When did Japan become a part of the U.S.?

 

[shockedcanadian]

Some people just hate their own country and division of their followers keeps them employed. Not to worry, China is going to win anyways.

You mean like plus Israel?

 

[pknopp]

Why do you believe the culture of other countries is any of our business? Why do you wish to meddle in everything?

What might be the solution here? War?

Wanting your country to be better is not hate

You understand that we aren't living in Japan, and what they do is not something we control, don't you?

The Left, and Biden administration, is obsessed with Israel.

In fact, they seem more concerned with that Bibi is doing than what goes on in their own country.
