Abject misogyny and xenophobia in Japan? I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you.
How is that misogyny?
Also, pretty normal that a group of people wants someone to represent them to look like them lol
Well... How do you define what a group of ppl look like? Are all Japanese of the same descent? Can an immigrant not become Japanese? How would this play out in the US? Only native Americans could represent the country? Or are you inferring that a given number of years must pass before a new skin tone can represent a country?
This particular group of people is very well defined, just by anyone with 2 functioning eyes.
I don't want an Easten European women to represent Japanese, as much as I don't want a Japanese to represent Easten European. It makes no sens. You are being obtuse on purpose if you still pretend you don't understand that
Edit: this country is like 99% of a single ethnicity. So yeah, skin color and DNA have to change in order to represent them
It's not about you. She was selected as the winner by someone who was Japanese and that was apparently not in agreement with your racist views.
A bunch of Americans believe the Earth is flat, does that mean all Americans are stupid?
She won. And racists gonna racism, Japanese or not. Who cares?
Quoting: I don't want an Easten European women to represent Japanese, as much as I don't want a Japanese to represent Easten European. It makes no sens.
That you?
"An unquantified portion of racists criticize the outcome of a stupid beauty contest, and that comforts my racist worldviews that the winner is illegitimate despite satisfying all known rules"
Are you sure you know how to reason?
You don't even make sense anymore. You've been flat out proven wrong by the fucking rules of the contest. Stop doubling down, you're not doing yourself any favor, and I'm sure you're better than this.
Good job she’s Japanese then!
sigh yeah and I identify as Sponge
The Japanese government “identifies” her as Japanese. They are the authority on that, aren’t they?
But you are not talking about citizenship are you? What are you talking about?
Apparently, mr. Kkkaveman here is a better judge of Japanese citizenship. Gee, maybe they should replace all border agents with them.
I don’t know did you?
I would help if you explain exactly what the issue is. She’s Japanese. She won miss Japan. What’s your problem?
You're expressing racist views and are being called out for it.
It's not that we don't understand you. It's that we reject your whole premise that miss Japan should look a certain way. That's not a rule in the contest, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to run.
So? Are you illegitimate when an unquantified portion of people criticize you? Are you sure you know how to reason?
Who cares about what a bunch of racists think?
Lemmy has an option to add a note to these types of accounts so that you can easily identify and ignore them. I already labeled them "Obtuse Troll - Ignore". You can always block them as well but sometimes I find their flailing attempts amusing.
She won some beauty pageant then had an affair and gave up her title wtf is mysgonic or xenophobic about that?
Why does she lose the title for having an affair? Especially when she didn't know the man was married?
The article says she later admitted to knowing. Though I wouldn't count out being pressured to change her story.
She didn't
Simps being simps
I don't get what you mean
