Japan in general is a rather Xenophobic country and there's not really much ethnic/racial diversity compared to someplace like the US.

Even non-Japanese Asians tend to get the :mjpls: so it's not very surprising that black/mixed people there have it rough.

How does a mixed-race person represent Japan or Japanese people? It doesn't make any sense.

sure someone like Barack Obama may represent black people, but does Slug (the rapper), Freddy prince jr, Rashida Jones, and Jennifer Beeles or any other "passer" represent black
People?

Slug wears A red, black and green wrist to represent his black side. In the hood, his ass would get his card pulled real fast for some shyt like that.


And George Zimmerman has a documented Black grandfather. Does he represent black people? Get outta here with this non-sense

Basically this. Note in the article she got both praised and ridiculed, some will hate, some will love, when is anything ever unanimous? We are far too complex of people to all think one way. That's humans, show me a single place on this planet where every single citizen is tolerant of everybody. You can't. I would imagine being japanese in nigeria would be the same thing, people making comments about the eyes, eating dogs, making ching shang fung sounds. It's what kids do. but to call it racism is a little extreme esp for a country that only has one race, its xenophobia and ignorance, a common human trait which was essential to survival. Now with globalization we have to evolve, which we are. Japan has LOADS of Hafus represented in the media, in fact, THIS fukkING ARTICLE IS ABOUT JAPAN HAVING A HAFU MISS JAPAN. HELLOOOOOOO. :heh:
