Oh, Really ?

If I would stay in another country, I may change my way of expression.
However, this is MY OWN land, Japan.  Why I should adapt to Americans,
or any other nations' way of behaviour ? 
So, I do not believe any word of 'internationalization' of Japan.

I consider, now, those problems from the different points of view.

If some foreigners want to live in Japan, and want to _be_ Japanese.
And if he/she is willing to do something for Japan/Japanese.
Then, Japanese can accept them as Japanese ?

I think this is the most important point.  Of course, Japan is not a
country constructed by many kinds of immigrants.  So we should have
some criteria how to accept _new Japanese_ into our nation.
Or we should not accept any _new Japanese_.

For example,
If they say they swear the Constitution of Japan anf laws of Japan,
is that enough ?

If foreigners want to live in Japan only as a traveller or in a short
period, no significant problem does not occur, does it? 
Of course I'm aware of many problems for foreigners.
