Japan “coexistence” minister Kimi Onoda : “Permanent residency is not a right. It is ‘permit’ granted after meeting the requirements, if you say ‘permanent residency,’ it can be misunderstood as if it were a right, so I would like you to be careful when speaking about it”

    1. Is this an inaccurate definition?
      This is always how I have perceived it, in any country.

    2. While technically true, it seems like an odd thing to make a point of saying completely unprompted.

      This chick is sooooo hurt 😂
      She cannot accept that she’ll never be a real, fully native Japanese person. So instead of improving the lives of other half-Japanese people like herself, she wants to make it more difficult for their foreign parents to exist in Japan. Probably like her father 🤭

      “My father doesnt love me so none of you useless gaijins will be happy! like ever!”

    5. She ain’t wrong. It IS a privilege, no matter what anyone says. But it shouldn’t be taken away willy nilly either. Anyways, why is she talking about it?

      I don’t really get the impression that she has the right mentality for the job she’s been given.

      I mean sure, but if you’re granted “permission” to drive with your driver’s license for example, don’t you have the “right” to drive? She should focus on answering the question instead of playing word games here and there

    8. I love that Japan’s chief anti-immigration minister is Kimmy from Chicago who was once illegally a dual citizen.

      The hypocrisy of saying this BS about visa requirements from this fool, that kept an illegal dual citizenship for most of her life.

      Japan has countless of permanent residents with a longer japanese citizenship of her.

      Japan should just stop allowing the foreigners they hate so much into the country and just increase the popoulation by the offspring brought by their NEETs marrying their 2D husbandos and waifus.
