I don't speak Japanese so I have no clue but could there be a similar linguistic connection like the English word "alien" that depending on context can mean different things?

i have no idea how hate speach laws managed to be passed in some cities in Japan. The Japanese constitution was supposed to ensure freedom of expression. Americans put that in there themselves originally meant to protect the communists that used to be jailed by imperial japan. (before the Americans proceeded to burn over 7000 books of course). Turns out "freedom of expression" is only meant to protect the communists of course.
I'd say it's a little early to say "doomed". The Japanese people are different, their responses to niggers, jeets, and whatnot will not be nearly as kind. There's only about 2-3000 Kurds in Japan, and sentiment against them has only grown. They hate, just like you and me. Japan is a country which will not be made into another 'diversified' hellhole, the people are not nearly liberal enough for that, their responses to foreigners are far stricter, there's parts of Japan that foreigners are plain not allowed into. They are very respectable in that regard.
