The National Governors’ Association drafted a joint statement on Nov. 11 to counteract the nationwide spread of xenophobia and social media misinformation that includes the sentiment “As foreigners increase, so does crime.”
Headed by Shizuoka Governor Yasutomo Suzuki, the project team behind the draft hopes it will ease anxieties regarding international residents.
It is scheduled to be approved at a meeting between all 47 of Japan’s governors who represent the 46 prefectures and Tokyo on Nov. 26.
The association has so far requested the central government to compile a basic plan for accepting non-Japanese nationals, enact a fundamental law on multicultural coexistence measures and establish an organization dedicated to overseeing the issue.
DENOUNCEMENT OF XENOPHOBIA
Three pillars make up the document titled the “Joint declaration by governors nationwide aiming to realize a multicultural society (tentative).”
The first seeks the “promotion of multicultural coexistence” by advocating measures that will support community building between Japanese citizens and foreign residents.
It vows to “strongly reject exclusivism and xenophobia based on information not grounded in facts or data.” It also calls for “calm discussions based on realistic evidence and concrete measures, without relying on impressions.”
The second is a tenant of “coexistence based on rules and ensuring peace of mind.” This declares that multiculturalism “does not mean the disorderly acceptance or preferential treatment for foreigners.”
It emphasizes efforts to provide information and consultation, including matters such as garbage disposal and noise, to ensure international residents can properly understand rules; also included is the intent to promote Japanese-language learning opportunities.
The third point zeroes in on “accurate and proactive information dissemination” and points out that foreigners have become “indispensable members of the community” in terms of manpower to offset population decline.
This is the trick where when you lose on the national level, you undermine on the local level.
Culturally, this is gaslighting and mind-control Japanese style—‘ensuring peace of mind’—while politically, it’s the invariable second line of attack used in USA and throughout the West.
I want to see Japanese civilization preserved as much as I want to see the West’s preserved.
Rapidly oncoming robotics eliminate the need for mass immigration, while examples across the West prove the devastating outcomes which result from an invasion of immigrants, many of whom will hate you and work to destroy you. ABN
