It seems like a reasonable enough position, but I wonder if there a way to express this desire in a way that couldn't easily be criticized as being "xenopohbic"?
Is there something inherently wrong with this attitude? (I personally wouldn't want to be a foreigner living there is what he describes is true, but no one is forcing me to move to Japan).
To use the example of Brexit - I sometimes feel like the 'Remain' side, in accusing 'Leave' of xenophobia & racism, painted themselves into a corner where any discussion of reducing migration was taboo.
I voted 'Remain' and am generally fine with current levels of immigration, but would I continue to be ok if these levels doubled, tripled, quadrupled? To be honest, I'm not sure.
In that sense, perhaps I'm not really much different from a 'Leave' voter, we just have different levels of sensitivity to opening our culture to foreigners.
(Or course, the referendum was about much more than immigration, but there's no doubting that it was a huge factor for many people.)
I wouldn't even consider moving to another country unless I was prepared to integrate and abide by cultural norms.
This is illogical, I suppose, since really they amount to the same thing.
If the culture is good, no. If the culture is bad, yes.
