Japan's justice system has it's flaws just like everywhere else, but they absolutely don't sweep crime under the rug.

The justice system may not but various other authorities certainly do.

You should talk to Zainichi Koreans that live there more. This may be a difficult point to take in a community that views most things based on numbers and data.

I've never interacted with a Zainichi Korean but as a foreigner who's reported a crime I can assure you that it was dealt with.

>Please stop posting if you have never interacted with the biggest minority in Japan.
Then perhaps you should amend your original statement about "most" crimes being swept under the rug.

How do you reconcile intersectionality and systemic racism with low crime rates in Japan?

It's disgusting you were flagged by the hive mind, but I for one would like to find out more about why Japan is hiding crime.

There are regular efforts to discredit Japan, and I think it has to do with them being the model for "done differently and to better success". Better birth rates, very very few cesarians. Far fewer health mandates, better health outcomes. Cash-based economy, fully functioning without being subject to mass surveillance. Even better litter outcomes despite no public trash cans.
They're testament to the successes of a homogenous society at the very least.

Don't Asians tend to live longer and have better health in general?
I don't know if it's due to something genetic, or because of something Japanese people do after they're born.
FWIW, Asian Americans in USA also tend to live longer than other ethic groups.
Now that I think about it, I realise USA might be a good natural setting to study these kinds of differences because there's a lot of people from a lot of places over there, unlike other countries where the population is more homogenous. Or maybe I'm wrong (I'm not from USA, but when I visited there I was astonished by the number of people from all over the world who were there).

Apart from the extremes of heteromorphic differences that can occur between different populations of humans, and the small chance that a very small woman might give birth to a very large baby.. What does any of that have concretely to do with society being Homogenous? What evidence do you have that Japan is actually Homogenous? How do you define that.. There is great diversity in Japan...

I wish 97.8% monoculture was considered diversity. My conglomerate can't get any cash from blackrock unless we're at least 65% diverse and make our advertisements about ESG instead of the product we're selling.

No, you’re right. Im assuming they mean child mortality.
