Miss Japan challenges the norm

Roxana Saberi spends a day with Ariana Miyamoto, who became the first half-black Japanese woman to be named Miss Japan.

[@RoxChanan]

Well, I'm a hafu too. But my other half is Thai. So Japanese people can't really tell that I'm not pure Japanese. However that doesn't mean they won't distance me when they find out that I'm half Thai. My point is the racism in Japan does exist. I have witnessed it far too many times.

Black people consist of the darkest of colors (lots of melinin) to the palest of pale (lesser melanin). Therefore, as a group, Blacks do not practice racism. Ariana is a beautiful & lovely lady given to us by God the Creator. He knows best. All the trolls saying her father abandon her knows nothing about subject. Video said her father was in US Navy and Ariana spent 2 years with him in the USA. That's a relationship. Of course she had to return home to her mothers' love and I assumed her father had his own wife

+ChasingTruth TakingFlak I guess im looking at it differently because I am half-Japanese. No matter though, nobody is the most beautiful or accomplished and I do not believe that someone else was a better fit. It may help more half-Japanese be more confident with themselves as people and to help ignore the criticism that we recieve.

[@phillycheesetake]

Raven Destari How is no-one a better fit? She hasn't accomplished anything, she's done literally nothing, she didn't even finish high-school. She lived in the US for 3 years, and still doesn't speak English, not exactly an indicator of someone with drive and determination. I have no problem with half-Japanese people in general, but to pretend like you represent Japan, or can represent Japan, when Japan has a very distinct culture and is very homogeneous, is laughable. I fear that in not too long, no country, or land, or culture, will be immune to the nonsense that is multiculturalism. There will be no Japanese people, there will be no Europeans, there will be no Indians etc., and hence, no diversity. Everyone everywhere will look, speak, and act similarly. It will not happen in our lifetime, but I don't want to progress towards it.

[@XxXxJennaxXxX227]

+ChasingTruth TakingFlak Japanese to English is a VERY difficult transition and you would know if you had been through it. My dad BARELY speaks English and he lived in the US for 3 years. Also, i feel like, since there are people who are half, shes a good indicator that people there are also mixed. I do very much understand where you are coming from, yet, we cant help if different races want to make kids. Thats almost laughable that you seem like you want to stop that. I dont believe that you need a PHD to be in a pagent. Just saying. Her drive and determination seems to be to stop the harassment / bullying of people who are half-Japanese. I lived in Japan for a few months and i have experienced the HIGHEST form of bullying. Yet, Maybe someone who was lighter it seems that they would be a better fit, yes? I have no problem with her being half-Japanese but, I do not see the huge deal over it. I guess its whos opinion it falls on, haha..

[@phillycheesetake]

Raven Destari "Thats almost laughable that you seem like you want to stop that." I don't want to stop it, I want people to stop promoting it at somehow "better" than non-interracial relationships, which is the sentiment behind her supporters. Stop acting as if her mixed status wasn't the reason she got the gig, IT IS, and it's REALLY OBVIOUS. "I have no problem with her being half-Japanese but, I do not see the huge deal over it." Well, some people see it as such a huge deal that they'll declare her the most beautiful Japanese woman, just because she's half-black, even though she plainly isn't the most beautiful. "I dont believe that you need a PHD to be in a pagent. Just saying." She's a high school drop-out...that's pretty disgraceful. Even if you're being bullied, you can finish your studies alone.

It's inside what counts, but nah, I guess we really all are just that shallow.

[@かんぐちあき]

Fuma Fu the ones making comments that she's half-black and taking this out of proportion are the "western" posters here on YT more than anything else. I don't say Japan has no racism, but the "problem" if anything is more that she is half "non-Japanese". So called "fully-Japanese" people will discriminate against any "haafu" as being "other" and not Japanese enough. Whether half black, white, Arab, etc don't really make that much difference (well, if you're half "other Asian" you might not be discriminated much because of your looks until they FIND OUT you're half something else) I myself being "haafu" growing up I in Japan living now in US see a LOT more racism against blacks (based on color) here than ever in Japan. Tho I'm not part black, I've been discriminated in US just for looking Hispanic, and have heard enough racial "color" comments rampant in US, compared to in Japan, comments are about "foreigners" as a whole (it's not really about "color"). On top of that, many Americans simply seem to believe they are not racist because they are multi cultural nation and Japan is racist because they are "single race". That's such an ignorant, simplistic, and juvenile way of looking at things.

@interpretation 21 Demons love to call the human images of God demons. You delusional bigot, satan cannot create anything good. The only things that comes from satan is rotten, just like your mind. All exisiting creation is made by God, but could be poisoned because of demons, evident from your comment.

[@00II0]

@interpretation 21 What real Japanese people? The ones who migrated from China and landed onto what is now called Japan.... If the people are "real" Japanese, no Japanese would push away the Ainu people, who lived on the land before the arrival of Chinese migrants. May she burn for being born as a human being ! It is people like you whom will burn in the evil that you all sow. Brainwashed demon. Hell is for the inhumane, those who cannot treat another being with fairness and dignity. With being so inhumane, burning in hell is your harvest; the evil you wish on innocent beings will be measured upon you.

[@00II0]

@interpretation 21 Mentally ill? You just stated that a person born half Japanese was not created by God, but by Satan and that she should be KILLED and burned because she was born that way ! You call me insane for being HUMANE and calling out what you commented was in fact demonic ! And I never stated anything about "Black" people, religion, or economics. Wtf. Throughout your comment, you never mentioned that "race" was INVENTED ~310 years ago around 1670s to 1690s, which means it is something that does not exist based on genetics, but based on creating class structures inspired to entering the Americas. Since you talk about "Jesus," you do a fantastic job overlooking scriptures about HUMANITY (i.e. Good Samaritans). At least there is a scripture written that they will call Lord, Lord, did we not feed you or give you something to drink when you where thristy..? Then this "Jesus" says "Depart from me... [because] I do not know you." My brain is open enough to spot hypocrisy.

I get your point and I do understand the inequality in areas like these but that doesn't mean that other people like her have to excluded. Racism and discrimination is for no one, even for Whites.

[@peaceandjustice3575]

Well, even though that whites are not the majority of this world you have to agree with the fact that they conquered several lands and most (not all and never will be) racist acts were committed by white people in history. But I disagree with you over the fact that they are always taken into responsibility over racism issues

[@ryanh6625]

+Jazir Kamal The second largest land empire in the world was the Mongolian, which included parts of white Europe. They were also responsible for possibly the greatest atrocity of the Late Middle Ages in the Siege of Baghdad. The most prolific and longest running slave trade in history was the Arab Slave Trade, which again included white Europeans from the Mediterranean and even in one instance as far north as Iceland. Along with, obviously, Africans, Asians, and people from all over the world. The Arab Slave Trade also started 800 years before the European-run Atlantic Slave Trade and lasted an additional 100 years after it had ended. Umayyad caliphate conquered the Iberian Peninsula and they and subsequent Muslim civilizations colonized and ruled white European land for 500 years, 700 until they were fully expelled (this is twice as long as the entire extent of the British Empire). The Ottomans did the same thing to the Balkan Peninsula for almost 400 years. Not only are white people by no stretch of the imagination responsible for the "majority" of racist acts or interracial atrocities, but there has also been a disturbing amount of atrocities committed by the Arab world against the rest of the world, in particular whites, that nobody seems too concerned about. Why are white people the only ones expected to feel racial guilt? Where are the demands that the Muslim world apologize for the conquest of white Iberia? Where are the apologies for the Arab Slave Trade? Why is the nation of Turkey not wracked with guilt over slaughtering the Byzantines in 1453? When will Mongolia apologize for destroying 1000 years of knowledge in the libraries of Baghdad and murdering half a million civilians? Nah, I guess it's only white people that are to blame, right?

Japan is a highly homogeneous country, and supposed to be. So it might be very shocking and humiliating for many Japanese citizens that a woman with a foreign origin represents beautiful Japanese women. However, such phenomena are not unique in Japan. When an African woman was selected as a Miss Italy a few years ago, it provoked a strong backlash in Italian people.

[@morisoba2550]

+MrEjidorie Nope. It's actually not like that in Japan. Most Japanese aren't shocked at all to hear Ariana Miyamoto became the first half-black Japanese woman to be named Miss Japan. People just thought it's an unusual case and the main stream media didn't care much about her. But It provoked a strong backlash when she commented on racism in Japan for foreign media. It seemed to many Japanese people like she was making this problem big and just wanted to be famous by racial problem topic.

[@MrEjidorie]

+Mori Soba Thank you for your reply. I think Ms.Ariana Miyamoto is very charming and intelligent, and she is deserved to be Miss Japan. Although her father is an Afro American, I`m quite sure that her heart is Japanese and she is really Yamato Nadeshiko (Japanese woman with all the traditional graces.). That`s why her remark about racism in Japan shocked and made me sad. Whether we like it or not, Japan is in a transitional period from highly homogenious society to more multiracial and multicultural nation. Judging from what`s going on in Europe, Japan should not accept huge number of immigrants right now, but we should be more generous to people with foreign origin as far as they respect our culture, language and Japanese society as a whole. I believe that Ms. Ariana Miyamoto is a full-fledged member of the Japanese family.

[@morisoba2550]

+MrEjidorie I feel sorry for Ariana Miyamoto having had tough childhood because of racial bullying. But bullying can happen to anybody anywhere for any reason. She may be too young to understand it. As for multiculturalism I understand what you mean and I'm personally trying to judge any person not by his/her nationality or race, and hope many Japanese do so. Although I cannot agree with Japan as the nation should install the multiculturalism of immigration nations like US, Canada, Australia and Singapore. Each country has its ethnic identity and that should not be violated.
