      I’m not sure how 2% of the population being immigrants is replacing the native population.

            That’s a problem that came be fixed. But to those who like Japan and Japanese culture, immigration is not something that can be undone.

      Well, yeah I guess it is in a way. But more like framing it as a negative thing, a fear of the loss of Japanese values and culture as the foreigners bring in their own.

        But if you like Japan as it is, that’s a valid concern. It’s not immigrants magically forget where they come from.
