United States is also gigantic and has way more resources than Japan's tiny island. Japan shouldn't the economic power that it is, but with their skills in technology they have managed.That was in response to the notion that Japan's culturally homogeneous society is a better model than that of the United States. I believe the last 100 years has proven that definitively false. That very ethnocentricity that Japan displays manifested itself within the last century in the form of state sanctioned rape, genocide, and unspeakable violence against ethnic minorities or those deemed genetically inferior. Go read about the atrocities committed during the 20th century by the Japanese against the Chinese.
I believe that the United States' model of diversity and controlled immigration is a better model than that of Japan. I say that unabashedly and without hesitation. I believe that the United States is the brightest spot on this planet, and a bulk of our success as a nation has come on the backs of the immigrants that we've welcomed into our country over the last 150 years.
If you took the US population and put them on Japan, it would be a complete nightmare. If you took the Japanese population and put it in US, they would easily be the #1 superpower for a long time.
