- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Are you seriously trying to say colonialism and tourism are the same thing
Xenophobia: the fear or intolerance of foreigners
No, tourism and colonialism aren't the same thing, but in this context it doesn't matter.
Besides, which one are we talking about in Japan? We could call it tourism, but don't you know they've literally been occupied by the US military since WWII?
And if you want a strictly tourism example, then how about Barcelona? How is this any different from a giant mural that says "Tourists go home"? And least in Japan they don't spray gaijin with water guns...
