@TheMadPirate @ArdainianRight @Arkana It's still arbitrary. Like I said previously, there are multiple native ethnicities in Japan. They can identify as one of those instead of identifying as "Japanese". How genetically far apart does someone have to be for them to be considered an outsider? How culturally different do they have to be to be considered an outsider?
@Arkana @ArdainianRight @TheMadPirate True. And it's within my own interest not to be disowned by my family because they will support me if I support them.
But I have no obligation for my nation. Which is why I refused to serve in the military.
Being a citizen of a country is not the same as being ethnically of its majority nationality.
You do not get to decide what family you are born into. That is intrinsically part of your identity. You can lose that status by being disowned, or willingly cut yourself off from your family, but it does not change your genetics.
