Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Japan accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Japan and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"Yes, there is a lot of diversity in Japan. People in Japan are generally accepting of differences, and there is a strong emphasis on respect for others regardless of their background. Japan is home to a variety of ethnic and religious groups, and there is a long history of cultural exchange and integration. Japan is also home to a large number of foreign residents, and the country has a reputation for being welcoming and tolerant of different cultures," remarked another expat in Japan.
"Most people are very conservative. There is a sense of purity in relation to race that makes some multi-race relationships unaceptable by family members," said a member in Okinawa, Japan.
