Whenever I see news reports about migrant crime in Western Europe, it makes me wonder: Aren’t people living there like rabbits living in a bear’s den? They seem to be huddling in a corner, waiting for their turn to be attacked by teeth and claws. And if they resist even a little, they are attacked by wolves called the police. How did things end up this way in societies that have elections and claim to value freedom? From the outside, it almost looks as if ordinary white citizens have become second-class citizens. Were elections really held? Were they conducted properly? From a Japanese perspective, it feels strange—strange beyond words. The more we look at it, the harder it is to understand.
