I find it amusing when Japan wants to be a homogenous society everybody respects their right to have that opinion. But when a european country voices the same wish, everybody loses their mind.

I wouldn't go so far as to say everybody respects it. Some people, maybe.
Ultimately, it's the same underlying xenophobia and racism you find everywhere else. It's easier for people to like people who are like them and harder for them to like people who are not like them.
In my opinion, people don't talk about how well America integrates other cultures enough. It's one of our defining strengths, even still.
