Man, someone should tell them that so they can revoke my status of residency that they keep accidentally renewing every single time for the better part of a decade now. And the people that employee me in Japan. And the people who let me buy a house in Japan.
Oh wow residency! And they graciously allow you to renew it!
Gee golly, what's the foreign born citizenship rate at?
You did not mention citizenship in your post. Japan does not allow dual citizenship (there are some grey zones here, however). The bar to apply for citizenship, however, can actually be lower than the bar for permanent residency in some cases. As for how many people give up their citizenship to naturalize, I can't be bothered to look right now. I personally know one person who did and have heard from others.
Being a temp worker who can be kicked out at any time would not imply you're wanted there - so it's kind of a given. Even if we factor residency into it, you're looking at 3% of the population being non-Japanese.
Japan is famously xenophobic, just because you're allowed to work there doesn't change that. You've been there a decade, do the locals consider you Japanese?
