Why am I so excited that my daughter has blue eyes? What’s the big deal about that?

Internalised racism and white supremacy maybe

Every sentence is twice as racist as the last one lmfao.

These people really looked at their 3/4 white child and said "I LOVE how white it is. Also Japan Samurai!!"

Yasuke >>>>>>> "blue eyed samurai"

Some asians talk about mixed race people like they're breeding dogs

Ugh, they could have just made it a genuine romance and it would have been...still problematic...but at least potentially a good exploration of early colonialism and it's complexities.

It's a natural reaction to the American social dynamics. Asian Americans instinctively understand that they'll always be a foreigner in other American's eyes (and their own eyes as well due to internalized racism). They wish the best for their children, which means fitting in by being white. Getting a white spouse is a deliberate defense mechanism against a hostile society as well.

Racialization of national and personal identity isn't a problem only in Israel.

Noizumi is half-Japanese, and she found herself thinking, “Why am I so excited that my daughter has blue eyes? What’s the big deal about that? And why am I so excited that I have a baby who looks more white?”

What the actual fuck. Blue eyes can look cool, but why tie it in with race? What the fuck

More like White worship was a mistake. Lots of non-white people talk like this and it's gross. These types will pass up gorgeous poc for some mediocre or ugly white person just so they can have kids with lighter skin and colored eyes. The kids usually grow up with a number of mental health issues too.

I am a brown guy and wore colored contacts for a phase in my life. It was for myself, and yes admittedly it was an icebreaker for the ladies if nothing else.

But it ended up really creepy and sad how people only noticed me then, specifically in terms of how not-brown I looked and what my possible genetic background might be. And if I revealed that they were "fake" (in their words), some of them were really harsh about me trying to be someone I can't be.

I don't wear them anymore.

Also I'm fairly certain there was some part of the japanese cultural historical period that had being as un-sun-kissed pale white as possible being a desirable trait among imperial courtiers because it was a sign of not being a stinking poor peasant. I'm thinking it's from the Heian period.

And I'm gonna go out on a limb based off of the historiography I've read, it wasn't illegal to be "white" in the Edo period, it was illegal to be a gaijin bleach demon imperialist invading Japan - something that's not exclusively "uniquely Japanese", much to the Japanese ultra-nats and weeb nazis chagrin, as Korea and China generally considered the roving european bandits who called themselves "explorers" and "traders" to be barbarians to be kept away. - which means this diasporian asian's been yankeefied to the point she's obsessed with becoming european to the point of mythologizing history

back in the Edo period starting in 17th-century Japan, it would’ve been illegal to be white.

Sounds like America in 2023. /s

blue eye samurai

that fucking hurt to read

this is like a hollywood movie they'd make in The Man in the High Castle.

One time I was at a party and this white guy said he "spoke chinese" and the first thing he said was the n-word (or a word that white people seem to think is the n-word). Then I watched him try and fail to hit up Asian girls the entire time. These are the type of people who date women like her. Usually the dads say some of the most racist people you'll ever meet, and are in constant delusional denial that their kids look Asian. Needless to say their children are all fucked in the head.

Because you're a pathetic white-worshiping banana who wish you were as white on the outside as you are on the inside?

I have literally have never met a single non white worshipping Asian (not just east) in UK or USA that wasn't also a hardcore commie, and almost all my friends have been either East or South Asian

I've even met an ethnically Chinese commie who immigrated to China from Australia who's still white worshipping so even understanding about white supremacy isn't a guarantee they don't agree with it lmao
