My mate just came back from Japan. He said it was like another planet, very clean and full of Japanese people.
I have never been to Japan myself but from what I see on TV it does look clean and organised. I do though have a Romanian friend who was married to a guy from Bolivia and they both lived, as a married couple, in Japan for many years. Which sounds odd but is completely true. She says it isn't quite the glossy image behind the scenes that the tourists are shown. My US visitors went from here to London last week and stayed a few days. They had nothing but praise for the way the place worked and the service received. Not a word about "asians". Perhaps because one of them was actually born in Asia themselves. Horses for courses?

When people visit Hastings they say it's lovely but it's full of white trash, and I don't think they're referring to me

Maybe they did but where did they stay in London? A hotel in Manhattan wouldn’t give you the same New York experience as staying in Hunts Point, Brownsville or the south Bronx.

Maybe they should have stayed in Rotherham or the other at least 70+ City’s that have benefitted from such diversity? Sorry, don’t think Wisbech made it on the list yet but surely only a matter of time.

I am accused of being "deluded" on Japan! The truth is that my accuser is, as he is on many things, completely out of date. Don't take my word for it. Take a look at this piece. It comes from a source that ought to know the truth! It's from the Japan Times. It shows that what I have suggested is completely true. Japan has quietly begun to encourage more immigration and, totally contrary to what he has said, they can quite quickly acquire permanent residency. Interesting article. Stirling does love Japan - absolute fanboy. However this article is consistent with my overall thoughts on where we’re headed - and Japan is not immune to that. They’ve only delayed the inevitable, as this article proves.

Also - attempting to get back on topic here The first few pages of this thread were a pretty good read. Have to say Serial / Stirling tennis was higher quality than the usual penny dross on here. For what it’s worth I find it hard to understand how one can be so determinist about either nature or nurture as an 80/20 either way - last time I checked it was and still is a topic of hot debate and very difficult to have definitive answers or even accepted theory on. So for me the jury is still out on precision but to say both things play a role, yeah sure. I just don’t think you can say for certain that one dominates the other, let alone start talking with authority about the relationship between genetics and culture. That’s an extremely theoretical area

Hunt's Point is in the South Bronx I take your point but it does kind of stick out from the rest of the borough. Attacks with kumquats are a particular danger.
