If you don't want to see it you won't see it. See no evil. Doesn't mean it's not there.

In my experience, graduates of Keio and Todai are quick to say Japan is 90% middle class and egalitarian, but they've never seen a danchi. Not a lot of rags to riches stories in the Diet, either.

If that wasn't a missed opportunity I don't know what is.
