The country with the largest number of Japanese immigrants in the world is Brazil

Surprising, isn't it?
Normally you would think it would be the United States.
The second largest number of Japanese immigrants in the world are found in Hawaii in the United States.

I wish we got koreans instead, in 114 years all you japs ever done is build medium-sized grocery stores

Many Japanese immigrants are concentrated in the United States or Brazil.

Why Brazil?

Better than having favela nests and producing 90% of the gore content on the internet that you Brazilians have as your paramount achievements

You're talking about mexicans though

Brazilian farmers used African slave labour in the coffee plantations, but in 1850, the slave trade was abolished in Brazil. To solve the labour shortage, the Brazilian elite decided to attract European immigrants to work on the coffee plantations. This was also consistent with the government's push towards "whitening" the country. The hope was that through procreation the large African and Native American groups would be eliminated or reduced.[9] The government and farmers offered to pay European immigrants' passage. The plan encouraged millions of Europeans, most of them Italians,[10] to migrate to Brazil. However, once in Brazil, the immigrants received very low salaries and worked in poor conditions, including long working hours and frequent ill-treatment by their bosses. Because of this, in 1902, Italy enacted Decree Prinetti, prohibiting subsidized emigration to Brazil.[11]

The end of feudalism in Japan generated great poverty in the rural population, so many Japanese began to emigrate in search of better living conditions. By the 1930s, Japanese industrialisation had significantly boosted the population. However, prospects for Japanese people to migrate to other countries were limited. The US had banned non-white immigration from some parts of the world[12] on the basis that they would not integrate into society; this Exclusion Clause, of the 1924 Immigration Act, specifically targeted the Japanese. At the same time in Australia, the White Australia Policy prevented the immigration of non-whites to Australia.

In 1907, the Brazilian and the Japanese governments signed a treaty permitting Japanese migration to Brazil. This was due in part to the decrease in the Italian immigration to Brazil and a new labour shortage on the coffee plantations.[13] Also, Japanese immigration to the United States had been barred by the Gentlemen's Agreement of 1907.[14]

You should be proud of the large number of Japanese immigrants.
