Discussion She almost ruined a proposal.

This was at Crescent Bay Point Park, which allows people to book it special occasions.

These practices being unpopular in America has no stopped them happening; how does it being unpopular make it more moral? There is vocal and powerful support of this as well.

People are trying hard to stop it. Most people disagree with it. Our political system just isn’t set up to allow quick response. In Japan, nobody thinks these signs are wrong.

Support your claims with data or they’re just anecdotal. Given the amount of American (and other) tourism and economic stimulation, I sincerely doubt that these signs are as 1) widespread and 2) popularly supported as you claim. 

Secondly, consider how often practically any nonwhite minority is told to go back to their country, refused good service, etc. in America, if not outright subject to violence by the state or citizens. 

I don’t know why you seem so dead set on proving that it’s wrong for Japan to criticize the wrongs of the U.S. because they have poor practices of their own. The U.S. has done plenty of despicable things both historically and contemporarily, both abroad to others and at home to its own citizens. To claim it can’t be criticized by any country that is not a moral bastion (name one…?) means no constructive discussion could ever happen. For someone claiming these practices are unpopular and should be changed in the U.S., I would think you’d welcome criticism of them from others.

are you dense

youre saying one country can criticize anothers morality while not being subject to criticism themselves

also morality is a human construct and does not actually exist, good and evil are societal concepts used to ensure human survival
