Japan has one culture. And the culture is an ethnic culture. Ethnic = race/sub-race.

Each culture is based upon ethnicity = race/sub-race.

Multi-cultural is multi-race. Explain how you do not notice race when cultures clash within a "nation". Explain how being "totally opposed" to multi-culture is NOT also being opposed to multi-race. If you are opposed to multi-race, are you not ""racist""?

Do you know what an in-group preference is?

Racialist is a better term that racist. Racist is a loaded term.

Being anti mass immigration isn't racism. You see, the huge blunder America made is to claim immigrants have equal rights to our population. O.K. if the immigrant chooses citizenship through process. What we see, however, is gangs of migrants arriving in mass and people like Biden saying they now have full equal rights, to jobs, welfare, religion and so on. So, we had riots in Sweden not long ago and high crime areas in a once peaceful country. So, it should stop. Racism, however. Is something else. Racism is seeing all people as bad or inferior due to their ethnicity. Truth is, there are decent people even in places like Iran. One of my friends had Iranian roots but integrated fine in England. Basically, the Good Samaritan test stands. If someone is hurt and needs help, you shouldn't think what race they are but help. Just that immigration realities need to be based on reality. England was far better as it used to be and immigrants integrated far better.

"Multi-cultural is multi-race. Explain how you do not notice race when cultures clash within a "nation". "

Some cultures just don't mix. The UK has always had huge immigrant mixes, mostly from Europe. As the process was slower immigrants integrated totally. Now, though, we have a major problem. No migration control and criminal gangs bringing in thousands of unregulated people. I wonder if Trump knows about the unrest over here.

Best line ever.
Seriously?
You are worse off than even I thought.
Damn.

There's a lot to chew on. I suspect the world is going to change a lot because it seems as if the U.S. is on the verge of losing its position as the last superpower. Putin was very quick to capitalise on America's recent defeat in Afghanistan. Add that to totally failed policies in Iraq - democracy never materialised. America has invested billions of dollars trying to stop Ukraine being annexed by Russia but the snag is Russians know it's a war of endurance. They are pretty sure America will cave. In fact, if Trump does get elected we know Putin will already get a pretty decent deal.
And now Israel. Biden is terrified of war with Iran. The guy is quite happy to do nothing but talk. Besides that, America is so divided they don't stand for anything. It just depends on the one "monarch" who gets elected. At present it's Biden and he seems to have the backbone of a jellyfish.

"There tends to be a continuum, because people who are concerned about Israel tend to be concerned about Islamism,” added Pipes. “They don’t always go together, but they usually do.”

That's what Quiet Voice has missed. Most of these protesters tend to rally around Israel because they too are a small nation who don't want to become a melting pot. O.K. some of the protesters are football hooligan extremists and others are more politically driven. Very many are working class downtrodden by arrogant politicians.
None of these groups, though, share the Q.V. anti Israel agenda. In some ways, Q.V. is herself the target of the protests.

Do you know why you are confused about things, David?
Because you are refusing to see the "big picture".
Oh, well. Not everyone is meant to see.
