This would be like George Takei joining ice. After what the US government did to the Japanese American community, you’d think a guy who is of Japanese descent would be more self aware about immigrants
They are folks just like the rest of us, some are flat out stupid.
I know a couple of Japanese-American people whose grandparents met and married in US concentration camps during WW2. They are fully in on the Trump train, Musk fans, and happy to see “those people” suffer. If you try to point out the hypocrisy, they just roll their eyes at you.
Not really. Takei was in the camps personally and as such has spent a lot of time using his fame to ensure they aren't forgotten.
Japanese Americans have become ordinary Americans, and so like the Irish Americans, Italian Americans, German Americans, and sometimes even Latino Americans many have learned to sing along with the Anglo Americans as they demand that immigrants get out.
Or like how there is a small but fast-growing nationalist far-right party in Japan right now, that is slowly gaining political power in the government as the long-standing traditional conservative party falls out of favor with the people.
You would think the Japanese of all people would understand the dangers of becoming nationalistic and imperialistic again. 😞
Wait japan has another nationalist party now? The LDP is right wing and nationalist and has been in power for all but 6 years since the mid 50s
As someone living in Japan, I feel like it's a different flavour of nationalism.
The LDP is more like "we're better than all of you gaijin but fuck China and Korea specifically," but at least pretend like they care about how they look on the world stage. Whereas the Sanseito is more like, "WHAT'S UP YOUTUBE FUCK FOREIGNERS CAUSING ALL THESE PROBLEMS IN JAPAN AMIRITE?"
