Can someone please expand this article

The data cited is deceptive

According to the Ministry of Justice in Japan, if a child is born of one Japanese parent in Japan, that child's ethnicity is counted as 100% Japanese. The Ministry of Justice actually measures nationality but calls it ethnicity. The CIA World Factbook is citing numbers that came from the Japanese government in this fashion. It is blatantly false and misleading to conflate the two statistics. Let us not repeat that 98.5% ethnically Japanese figure here.

There are some ethnic groups missing

What about the the Ryukyuan people and some numbers?--Einar Moses Wohltun (talk) 21:13, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

What about the Swedish and Australian communities in Japan? I remember there were web links to subjects regarding them on Wikipedia, but since were removed. In the 2000s, the Japanese government recognized and created the Palestinian nationality in the census, and about 10,000 Palestinians reside in Japan. Adinneli (talk) 05:07, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Canadians and Mexicans form communities in Japan as much the number of American expats (over 50,000 for each nationality). 67.49.89.214 (talk) 01:36, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Americans are a highly racially diverse society, yes there are Americans of Japanese descent and other Asians, Latino Americans and Native Americans known to live in Japan. An African-American actor who did minor roles on 2000s Japanese TV commercials said he didn't face major discrimination in Japan, and finds the people to be great towards Americans, even if they're of color. In 2008, the city of Obama, Japan celebrated Barack Obama's electoral victory, because their city's name is the same as his last name, and they're not related. 12.218.47.124 (talk) 16:22, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
