Why is that a bad thing? Every single race or culture has a right to want to preserve itself. Maybe you have some personal issues you need to work out before you go off projecting self hatred onto other cultures.
>Every single race has a right to want to preserve itself and it's culture. "Japanese" isn't a race, and culture isn't a function of racial identity. If these things were true, then American culture would belong only to one race, and it clearly doesn't.

And it is a lifelong stigmatization as well. You will never be one of them, no matter how hard you try.

Japanese are indifferent and non-confrontational. If you don't care about what people think and don't try to integrate too hard, life isn't bad.
