most of that sounds good except for the anchor babies policy. I do agree that they should not be like the United States, meaning a baby born to two foreigners while on Japanese soil should not receive Japanese citizenship.
However, I think it would be fine for children born to a single Japanese citizen to receive Japanese citizenship. In the cases of rape or one night stands gone wrong, this would provide stability for the child. In natural cases, this would allow couples who love each other to be together without having to worry about the feds separating them. There likely would be a slight bump in genetically half Japanese children, but they would be raised under the Japanese culture so I don't see any downside.
Culture doesn't change genes.
culture defines a person way more than genes ever will.
culture is downstream from genetics
yes, but I believe it's more complicated than that. genetics, location, history, and geopolitics are all rivers that merge into the massive river that is culture.
No, it doesn't. Culture is defined by the people and how they behave. There's a reason why certain races were still the stone age while others were off sailing the globe and forming dynasties. The reason for that is not "culture".
