Japan needs to get over it ...she is gorgeous...they should be proud to have her represent their country...that is what I love about the evolution of Miss USA & Miss America...blonde haired blue eyed miss Texas is not all we are seeing these days
It just goes to show you that skin issues aren't just an 'American' problem I'm sure if a straight up Chinese girl was representing Ghana in an international beauty pageant, the Africans would be like 'wtf is this shit!'
True Lippy. Had you seen that report of Japanese doing blackface? They should get a grip dissing that Afro-Japanese woman.
I would FLIP. Indian kids have been representing Ghana at the Spelling Bee competition in America though
you people do know that most of the backlash is coming from outside japan right? It seems the west cares more about this than japan does. ain't that something
Considering many nations have a default 'identity,' I'd be pretty much inclined to believe that quite a few traditional-looking, resident Japanese people aren't happy with this National identities (ie the shade of their skin) are an issue and other countries want to stop/slow down immigration because of that It is what it is and if a Mexican woman represented Kenya or a white chick won a BET beauty pageant, I'm sure people would be flying off the rails
What do people from Ghana represent in India??? Indians are too sharp to let Africans get a foothold in their Country. Africans .....:smt015
You mean like when black women/black people were able to (not) get over it when that white sorority won that step contest a few years back? Or like how black women are able to (not) get over the fact that Iggy Azalea sells more music than her black female counterparts? I can go on with this but the point is that this sort of reflexive tribal stance against those seen as different or as intruders can be found in the black community too. Kudos to the writer of the piece who brought up that very same fact and even addressed how many darkskinned black woman take a similar offense to lightskinned black women when they win beauty contests or cast in major movie roles. At least this whole incident is happening in Japan and not, say, Denmark. If so we would have to deal with another article/twitter war about how those evil white ladies can't handle black beauty (because black women won't take aim at white society in general but rather at their arch rival instead: white heifers).
Well, when Indians did get a foothold in those African countries those places were pretty much being ran by Europeans at the time.
