And in Spain most immigrants are from Latin America with close enough culture and language to avoid most integration problems.
replyI wouldn't say most.
replyIt's around 55–60% of immigrants who come from Spanish-speaking countries.
Also, this uses official numbers, which reflect a larger Spanish speaking share than there is in reality (as people from Spanish-speaking countries have more straightforward visa processes).
So the real percentage is probably much lower (as there are a lot of undocumented migrants. 1.2 million applied for "legalization").
Germany has had an immense amount of immigration over the past couple decades.
replyImmigrants but not immigration because there aren’t enough resources to help all the people to integrate.
replyWhich is a political choice - not necessarily a resource problem. Germany, if any, would have the resources to help with integration but for decades most people and politicians were living in denial that people from other countries that came to Germany actually wanted to stay and _live_ there or were living in a world were state debt was seen as the devil's spawn.

replyBesides the mentioned comments Spanish speaking immigration is much more welcomed by radical right
AND
Germany had a lot of German speaking immigration from Eastern Europe. There are just no German speaking minorities left in other countries.
replyJust came back from Japan and I found it vibrant and modern.
replyIf you went to Japan in the 90’s, 00’s or 10’s, you’ll find the issue is that Japan still feels mostly the same. It’s a wonderful country, but post-Japan’s asset bubble and crash there’s been noticeably less change.
replyWhy does it need to change?
replyDid you visit the countryside?
replyJapan has an aging problem and a big misogyny problem too.
Name the country and I will easy find the spots where it is not vibrant and modern, and then say "did you visit those?"
replySay, I heard France has great cuisine, but I had street food in Paris and it was meh.
