Is that why Japan has 3 times as many muslims 100,000 a
Well, no NEW muslims anyway. I'm sure the ones who are there aren't sucking off the public teat, for what its worth. Also, Japan is well over 120 million people....basically 1/12 of 1 percent, which is the same thing as saying virtually none.
Muslims aren't overrunning the population of Poland, because Poland isn't kowtowing to Turkey or other members of the EU. If there are more muslims in Poland per capita, its probably because they are sneaking in from other, more permissive EU countries.

Your source for this is what? Japan doesn't treat muslims any different from anyone else no matter what the right wing echo chamber says. They are as free to come in as anyone else. But hey don't let facts confuse you, it would be a violation of the rightwingnut code of ethics. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/17/viral-image/viral-graphic-says-japan-keeps-out-radical-islam-t/

How exactly is 290,000 refugees accepted in an area of 750 million people overunning? Germany has accepted the most refugees at 140,000 into a population of 80 million. Overunning? A just little tiny itsy bitsy bit dramatic don't you think?

@tovarichpeter The Atlantic article in the original post blames white people as a matter of course:
The reality is that wherever there is a white settlement in the world, there’s racism
As if white people were unique this way! That makes the article itself racist against whites, yet the irony is of course lost on pretty much everyone reading it.
White people are actually among the least racist on earth:
Germany has accepted the most refugees at 140,000 into a population of 80 million. Overunning? A just little tiny itsy bitsy bit dramatic don't you think?
Half-truth; Germany already has about 5 million Muslims. The new batch is mostly takers not makers. Time will tell though if I'm right.
France is close to 10% Muslim. England is close to 5%. Belgium is 6%. That's just what's listed, as there may be several illegals.
They ghettoize and vote in an organized bloc, in England. Non-Muslim Indians are far more spread out and are a less organized voting bloc. Wonder what they could possibly be voting for.
Poland is 0.1% Muslim
Japan doesn't treat muslims any different from anyone else no matter what the right wing echo chamber says
Calling me a wingnut again. Mind you, last time I voted was for gore in 2000. Nice ad hominem
Once again, half-truth, all gaijin are treated equally shitty. Being Muslim doesn't confer any extra source of distrust or hatred in Japan.
2.1 million gaijin out of 120 million. 70% of then are Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Brazilian. My guess is lot of those Brazilian are actually ethnic Japanese.
muslims in Japan are around 100k or 1/12 of 1 percent. That's a solid number. Hopefully they are producers who deliver value.
White people are actually among the least racist on earth:
That's my life experience.
Look at India on the map. Mostly driven by Muslims but also caste based differences also. But most people in city live in high density settings and usually don't have the choice
Looking at the map, I found it hard to believe that Spain isn't one of the more racist countries in Western Europe, not so much against Muslims but black people

racistoppressed on earth:
In fairness, it's probably due to our superior intelligence and leadership qualities that we never find ourselves an oppressed group in any country. (/sarcasm)
I do agree though, in a way. After all, "white folk" are dominant in our culture, and many of us are perfectly okay with that becoming less and less true over time. OThers are not so happy about it. One thing for sure, america will always be a meritocracy. Although this is another thing that some of us are more interested in preserving than others.
In fairness, it's probably due to our superior intelligence
My wife isn't white but could probably teach AP calculus AB and BC and even multi variable calculus better than you.
But she is also among the least oppressed upper caste people like most people in the US of Indian origin. She is above average intelligence with fairly high IQ (above 130) although she was a bit of a slacker in her youth.
African royalty in Western Africa sold their own tribesmen into slavery.
Africans emigrating to US don't blame others for failures and have a strong sense of accountability.
In inner cities, it seems only sports coaches can get the best out of students and not their teachers. Sports coaches instill accountability and the idea that failure isn't an option. What factors prevent such success in the classroom. Parents have a part but why are coaches often more successful with same kids?

It's what the Muslims like to rape.

It not the white people, its the Enlightenment of the ~16th century.
We need another Enlightenment.

Yep, Japan treats Muslims like everyone else. They don't take any. Japan took less than 30 refugees all of last year.

We should be trying to make America more like Poland

Liberals need to stop telling us all to be like those northern countries. It's pure bullshit comparisons based on the fact that most people don't know what those countries are, where they are, and will never visit them.

Unless liberals are ok with giving up on diversity because:
"Denmark is a land of 5.3 million homogeneous people. Everyone talks the same, everyone looks the same, everyone thinks the same."

I was just in France and Poland this past week and vacationing in Denmark today.
Even though France is 10% Muslim, it feels like much more when you are out in the streets walking around. It's so in your face everywhere you go.
Denmark is closer to 5%, but you don't see it. And Poland has 0.1%, which is hard to believe it's even that high.
Poland don't play that.

You'll know when America is like Scandinavia when you actually get tired of blond bush!

Yes, I'm sure she could be trained to sniff out cancer faster than I could order a blood test or CT scan. But what about you? What exactly is it that you're good at? certainly not teaching math better than a masters in electrical engineering.
No wonder you're scared of h1-b STEM teachers from India while railing on others getting screwed by globalism
due to our superior intelligence and leadership qualities
I know a lot of smart white people who have strong leadership qualities. The only leadership quality you've demonstrated time and time again is your spearheading to bring back the ignore function since you are so much in need of a safe space each and every time you are triggered.

Bullshit! Marcus is a stupid guy, who can't handle the fact that an Indian-American family's members can outperform him. FYI, MMR's ancestry is from India. And no, he's not a Muslim so don't pull that stunt as a counter response.
But then again, Marky couldn't handle the fact that I could get A's in 2 Harvard College classes ... proving that it's little more than some grade inflation camp.

C'mon. If you were taking only 2 classes but the rest of the students were taking 5, it is not that hard to do better than them.
