Japan has been criticized for its policies, particularly as regards
Koreans. But these are countries that never purported to be
immigrant-based societies, whereas the US and Canada are both 99%
immigrant-based (I suppose the aborigines of the two countries are
actually more than 1%, but I speak hyperbolically; now if the
aborigines had just had better enforcement of immigration policies...).

So for Americans or Canadians to have ethnic or racial restrictions
makes for a certain hypocricy not to be found among Swedes and
Japanese.
