Speaking very broadly here, I define conservatism as needing an out of power group to shame/ostracize. Looking at Japan, 98% of the population is ethnically Japanese. 2% is immigrants. Hell I bet most of the people reading this already know the Japanese word for outsider without me even having to say it. It's a lock that Japanese conservatives are every bit as shitty as English or American conservatives.

I don't. What is the word?

Gaijin. I think this knowledge was much more common on the internet a long time ago tbh.

The most common one is “Gaijin” which is the impolite word for foreigner.
