The young lady who taught Japanese at my university a couple of years ago thought the Western obsession with egalitarianism and “diversity” was bizarre. She didn’t understand the idea of wanting every student to perform at the same level of every other student. She took it as a given that some are a lot smarter than others and the smartest should be given more attention. The idea of lowering standards to equalize outcomes seemed insane to her.

Nihon ga dai suki!

I would say at least 80% of Japanese feel that way.

You ought to talk to legal Japanese residents in the USA who are ESL students, and get their frank opinion about the illegal alien students (primarily from Latin America) whom co-inhabit their classes.

You will hear the same thing in any ESL class in any part of the USA, coming from Japanese.
