Japanese musicians after some practice can play jazz; they don't need to import American musicians just so they can have jazz concerts.
That is strawmanning my argument.
My argument was that without mixing of cultures we wouldn't have Jazz, which then gave rise to rock, and eventually metal. Not that Japanese people couldn't play Jazz, or needed an American to do so. My argument was that anime was a byproduct of that culture swap with Americans.
Nowhere did I advocate open borders, or uncontrolled migrations.
The parent to this thread's objection to this festival was that it celebrated mass migration:
It's an organization that helps immigrant-founded businesses to get an edge on white Americans. This festival was meant to be a celebration of diversity and flooding the US with foreigners.
So then I'm not sure where your disagreement is coming from if you aren't opposed to restrictions on immigration, as no one was objecting to people eating food from other cultures. They were objecting to leftists using that as a jump-off point to other policies.

My objection was the antisemitism, and that culinary exchange generates new stuff.
The objection is with other people objecting to the cultural exchange. As in, acting like SJWs act when they find "cultural appropriation"
