Biden calls U.S. ally Japan 'xenophobic,' along with China and Russia
“Think about it,” he said. “Why is China stalling so bad economically? Why is Japan having trouble? Why is Russia?”
“Because they’re xenophobic,” he said. “They don’t want immigrants.”
Show me what he said that was incorrect.
Japan has never welcomed immigrants, and they’ve been hovering on the brink of recession since 1990. Of the three countries he mentioned, Japan is probably suffering the most economically because of their lack of immigrant labor (while China and Russia are suffering for other reasons in addition to their lack of immigrants).
This is one thing I actually like about Biden: He sometimes says weird shit out loud that's not actually wrong, but isn't something that people in politics will ever say for obvious reasons.
E.g. the interview where he said we might have to get rid of Erdogan, or the thing of if you support Trump "you ain't black," or this. It is the honest version of "He tells it like it is!" that idiots say about Trump. He really does just open his mouth sometimes and some weird honest shit comes out. It's very unusual for a politician.
Prediction: I will look over your account's history, and within the first few pages I will see:
... and nothing else. You won't be concerned about Boeing, or Ticketmaster, or avian flu or climate change (except insofar as climate change can be directly connected to Biden).
Maybe I am wrong. This is just my prediction, based on you suddenly wanting to shoehorn Gaza into a topic that has nothing to do with it, and having no other thoughts on either Japan or Biden, the things that were previously being discussed that had nothing to do with Gaza.
(And, by the way, I think genocide is bad and Biden is bad for abetting it, if you're wondering.)
Brb, checking
Edit: Looks to me like I was more or less right. Also, "Nothing made me smile more than watching our boys in blue wreck those scumbag commies" is not a phrase that any human being in the history of the world has ever spoken in real life.
Did he make eye contact with you right after, and say, "Nothing personal, kid"?
I am sure there are plenty of people who support the police beating up protestors. I'm pretty confident that the number of them who talk to their friends about "our boys in blue" when they're not quoting a 1930s newsreel is in the single digits.
(Not that upvotes are a good metric of who's right about things, but even within that framework...)
