Are there any moral or ethical qualms about letting a population / culture die out via lower than replacement rate birth rates, and just importing immigrants to fill the void?

For instance is it problematic to just import Africans to Japan until there are no more ethnic Japanese left?

It seems like what you are proposing would just lead to the most developed nation's peoples just dieing off and being replaced with groups that are slowest to educate and provide a high standard of living for their women, which would be awful for human cultural diversity in the long term

In the full time span of human history, a 50-100 year of in development isn’t very notable.

Whatever you may believe to be a result primarily of culture, wether it be education, treatment of women or what have you, it is much more correlated to development status. Preindustrial Europe/Japan looked a lot more like Africa in those aspects does today than their modern status would seem to indicate.

Edit: also, where did I indicate we should get rid of ALL Japanese people? What a ridiculous straw man.

I didn't claim you said that but was fleshing out a possibility based on the argument you made initially
