That's really sad. Largest population and army in the world. Nuclear power and yet they still compare themselves to Western powers.

I guess that's what Faux communism will do to you.

Having the largest population and army in the world arguably have minimal influence when talking about capitalism. America is the most powerful industrialized nation in the world. An international perspective of capitalism offers insight as to why other industrialized nations compare themselves to America. Japan is much more comparable to America than China is.

This story is funny but it makes complete sense. America is the power majority in the world. Whites are the power majority and numerical majority in America. There's no need to go slumming when your ultimate goal is to run with the big dawgs.

Thus the faux communism mark. Japan had their struggles, but are a well respected capitalist society without needing a Caucasian face within actual Japanese society. Outside of Japan is another story, but inside Japan needing a caucasian face was never the issue.

Was it never a thing in Japan? But these companies don't 'need' a white person, someone came up with it as a self-marketing thing. We don't actually know how wide spread it is vs. being a 'weird news' story.
