I read ”White Shift (Japanese title: The Day Whites Become a Minority)” (written by Eric Kaufman). According to the book, white shift refers to the phenomenon in which pure white people gradually disappear and mixed-race people who have acquired white culture become mainstream.

In fact, as immigration accelerates, whites are becoming a minority in each country. The book argues that this has shaken the identity of white people, and that the white shift will bring about major changes in the world. Kaufman believes that his home country of the United Kingdom will undergo a major transformation in the 2100s.
Amid these changes, there are (1) those who turn to right-wing populism, (2) those who are obsessed with political correctness, (3) those who move away from areas where immigrants have flowed and turn their backs on diversity, and (4) those who are actively involved in major changes. It is said that it will be divided into The book categorizes them into ”(1) Struggle,” ”(2) Repression,” ”(3) Escape,” and ”(4) Participation.”

It is true that various phenomena from 1 to 4 have surfaced in Western societies. If you only look at media information, (1)and (2) stand out, but (3) is actually quite advanced as well.
For example, if you go to a certain part of London, you’ll see only Jews walking around. When you go to another district, there are only white people. The center of the city is the metropolitan area, where a wide variety of people come and go, but if you go a little further out, you can find areas where only people of the same ethnicity gather.

The number of foreign workers is rapidly increasing in Japan. The government stubbornly avoids using the term ”immigrant”, but in reality it is close to immigration. If this situation continues, the day may come when Japanese people will become a minority in Japan as well. In that sense, I believe that the white shift is not unrelated to the Japanese people.
If Japan were to find itself in a similar situation, what action would the Japanese take? Personally, I suspect that many Japanese people would choose option(3).
Mr. Kaufman says that option (4) is the most constructive, but isn’t it realistically difficult? (Kei Kitajima)
