If an immigrant comes to a nation, they promise to join that nation - assimilate. Learn it's language, culture, history, holidays. Thus no longer being an immigrant but a citizen.
But that's not what's happening. At all. They're colonating - they're coming here, forming groups, and acting like members of their PREVIOUS nation, not adopted.
Even people got used to the names for stuff like this. "Chinatown" for one. Entire cities in Ameriica, acting like it's China. But this goes for literally every nation - colonators are here, everywhere.
I currently live in Tokyo -- I'll be heading home next year. However, I avoid the "ex-pat" areas; although, I lived in one for my first year here (Azabu). Apart from the convenience of buying certain foods (like cheese) and school access (lots of good international schools in those areas), I can't see why you would want to move to one of those places.
I moved to Tokyo to experience Japan. Not bring my culture to Japan. I couldn't use Japanese in Azabu; almost everything was tailored to speaking English. I was so glad to move out and actually have to speak Japanese to order a coffee.
Yep, with the COVID shutdowns, we don't really need so many foreign workers, huh???
