"These guys were denied the ability to ever become citizens, although their kids were covered under the 14th Amendment. Of course, it was hard for them to actually have kids when they couldn't marry white women and couldn't bring Chinese wives over. We really, really didn't like Asians for a while."
In Japan, they really, really don't like non-Japanese even TODAY.
It remains nigh-impossible for anyone who is not ethnic Japanese to become a Japanese citizen. They simply don't permit this.
The Japanese understand the importance about protecting their ethnicity, culture and country.
Japan will -still be- "Japan", populated by "Japanese", long after the white Christians of Western Europe have disappeared, perhaps even after the people who built America have been "replaced", as well.
Should we blame the Japanese for wanting to remain "who they are"?
If the answer is no, why must WE accept a different fate?
