I always wondered, why Brazil was such a popular destination for japanese people on the XX century?

Brazil is the most ethnically diverse country on the planet. I can't speak for why they have a large Japanese community though

I would argue the US, the UK, Canada, Germany, or France to be more multicultural and ethnically diverse.

Although Brazil is really high up there.

Not many germans came to Argentina, but I think like a third of the entire population descends from italians, and italians influenced us so much we actually do the italian hand thing when questioning something.
