Omg, who cares. My Japanese friend won Miss Japanese Teen and can barely speak Japanese. She is as American as I am. But she is also 100% Japanese.
Too much other more important things going on in the world to worry about a beauty pageant!
Agreed. I don't understand why many women complain about how men (and other women) are so shallow and only care about about a woman's appearance, yet they still hold these primitive competitions and are obsessed with the results of said contests. What a waste of time/energy/makeup/airline frequent flyer miles beauty pageants are
I don't understand beauty pageants. At some point, someone decided that a contest judging physical beauty has to also take into account of the contestants' intelligence and talent.
What this did was to ensure that the winners who are relatively mediocre in looks, intelligence and talent! Don't you cringe when you watch the Q&A and talent sections of the contest? Awful. There are millions of women who are smarter and more talented than these contestants, and if you just walk around NYC, Dallas or LA, you would bump into so many who look just as good as, if not a lot better than, the contestants. You know what they say, jack of all trades . . .
Right, because blacks are just loved by the Europeans (particularly, former Soviet Union countries). . . Google a bit and you will find horrendous stories of prejudice against blacks in Europe. Blacks wouldn't be physically attacked in Japan, on the other hand.
And not to mention the U.S., Latin American countries, India, Arabian countries, Australia, New Zealand, and so on. We are all racists towards blacks. Sad but true.

Yet blacks from Africa do all they can, including risking their lives, to get to Europe, Arabia, Australia, the US, former USSR, etc; even those countries are their worst day, still treat blacks better than blacks get treated in their own countries by their own black people.
Yeah, I was shocked that a friend of mine who is American of Thai descent and her bf's mother didn't want him dating her because his family is Vietnamese. Another friend had the same issue with her parents. She was Vietnamese and her now husband's family was from the Philpines. Also a few Mexican American friends had issues with dark Mexicans. I thought some of us Blacks only felt this way. What a bizarro world we live in.
She's not pretty at all just a less ugly mix. There are lots of black Japanese kids and most of them look sort of like a Kimora lee who I consider not really pretty at all.
The problem we have is that for a country like Japan that is predominantly one race and to have someone that is mixed to win is a slap in the face of all the prior Japanese contestants that didn't win that are 100% Japanese origins.
It sends a message to Japanese women that they aren't beautiful enough to the world unless they are mixed.
Why do you think that many Japanese trends these days involve tanning, making their lips bigger, and their eye lids changed.

Well, nobody would be physically attacked in Japan. It simply doesn't exist there. So it's not really much of a point. Japanese would instead avoid any contact and not admit to understanding English (when they do) if contact is made. Small restaurants would find an excuse not to be open if a Black person showed up.
On the other hand, it's very rare to see a Black person in Japan and then maybe only in Tokyo, Osaka or near a US military base.
Critics slam biracial Miss Universe Japan because she’s ‘not Japanese enough’

“She has too much black blood in her to be Japanese,” one borderline racist critic posted online, according to Japan’s RocketNews24.
My comment is directed toward the news article and the write, apparently Meg Wagner. Why in the world do you use the term "borderline racist" in the article? You know good and well had this been in the US, there would be no "borderline" attached to it.
I worked with a young lady years ago who was Black/Japanese. Her name was Hatsu (beautifuly young lady). I never had an opportunity to ask her about her life in our out of Japan and I don't even know if she was American born.
