Japan has been like that for years. Their actual acceptance rate is very low.
They do let people in, but unlike us, they follow really strict rules and let in mainly what they need for the workforce.
They are not an ex-pat friendly nation like most of the other Asian nations.
I think alot of it has to do with Western vs Eastern workplace values. They don't want their workforce to mix because of cultural values.
Japanese society outside of the main city/touristy areas is just not very foreigner friendly. So it surprises me that was the sentiment expressed.
