Keep in mind that the Japanese sided with the Nazis.

Anyhow, I believe it's a one way to keep public order. I'm not Japanese but I also live in a pretty nationalistic/militaristic country. Once people start forming small groups within a community based on their heritage or whatnot, things start to get out of hand. One way to stop this is completely removing all these groups or cutting contact with them, or discrimination. The other (opposite) is injecting multiculturalism into the community. Both policies have pros and cons.

USA uses multiculturalism, Japan uses xenophobia. They both seem to work equally well!
