How do you expect to see so many of us marry foreigners when only 1 out of every 200 people in Japan are non-Japanese?

I'm pretty sure they meant the CULTURE is westernized.
Alot of girls in Japan are into western culture fashion and style.
And they also enjoy celebrities from America like Paris Hilton or
Lindsay Lohan etc. They are westernizing in the younger generation,
not meaning that there are more Gaijins in Japan...
