Is it ethically acceptable for Japan to maintain ethnic Japanese super-majority status through immigration laws that effectively bar permanent settlement to most non-Japanese applicants?

Ethics is a class question, and the only ethics that matters to the proletariat is the ethics that advance the world revolution.  
Japan’s ruling class does not keep the archipelago 98 % “Japanese” because it loves cherry blossoms; it does so because a hermetically sealed labor market—now fused with a “technical trainee” guest-worker program that is indentured labor in all but name—lets monopoly capital hold wages down, unions weak, and the U.S. base structure unchallenged by a multinational working class that might otherwise arrive with revolutionary traditions from Nepal, the Philippines, or Korea.  

The immigration wall is therefore one more tariff wall: it protects Japanese capital from the free flow of labor-power while Japanese capital itself roams the planet extracting surplus value in Vietnam, Brazil, and Myanmar. The same state that bars permanent settlement to a Nepalese metalworker will grant it overnight to a white U.S. financial parasite who promises to “revitalize rural Japan” with an Airbnb scheme.  

So the question is not whether this or that abstract “ethnic balance” is moral; the question is which class interest the rule serves. A policy that keeps the proletariat divided—Japanese “regular” versus foreign “irregular,” citizen versus trainee—keeps surplus value flowing to Mitsubishi, SoftBank, and the imperial state that shelters them. That makes the policy reactionary, whatever cultural wallpaper the bourgeoisie hangs on it.  

The only ethical path is the one that hastens the class dictatorship of the proletariat: tear down the visa regime, grant immediate full labor and residence rights to every migrant, and weld their organizations to the Japanese revolutionary movement. When the day comes that the Self-Defense Forces bases are occupied by a joint picket of Okinawan, Zainichi Korean, Bangladeshi factory and Japanese rail workers, the “ethnic super-majority” will be seen for what it always was—an instrument of imperial capital, not a shrine to be preserved.
