I mean Japan's political situation is kind of weird. The LDP has basically been in power forever (with super brief interruptions). It lost power recently though so we'll see what happens I guess. IIUC tho anti-immigrant sentiment is rising (at least partly fueled by the massive waves of shitty tourists IMO), which prob isn't a great sign based on what's been happening in other countries.

  • I still speak a reasonable amount of Japanese, and am familiar with the social norms. I think I would be fine, despite being white as a picket fence.

    That’s not to say I am dismissing the xenophobia - it’s real, and it’s one of the aspects of Japanese society that troubles me the most, in a general sense.
