JEALOUS? DO JAPANESE ENVY HALF-JAPANESE PEOPLE?

Being half-Japanese in Japan is not all fun. Japanese boys and girl are telling us if they envy Half-Japanese people, often called "Hafu" or if they think they have problems in their life in Japan.

The fluent English speaking girl was pretty cool and articulate.

[@antoinenguyen7783]

She's better than the most non-native english people

[@adora08phoenix]

Agreed! And man, the girl with the hoop earrings seemed like she couldn't walk and chew gum at the same time. I'm sure she is nice, but damn.

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

her style of english is evident of the upper class english spoken in the philippines and indonesia. she probably learned it from schools there. some of my classmates in university sound just like her here in the philippines. formal english education focuses a lot on proper articulation here and we adopt a lot of our english from american english when talking of philippine history. some of her pronunciation though i must say is the kind of english that people in the area around malaysia, indonesia, singapore speak like.

Im half japanese quarter korean and a quarter black and i know i should be grateful for being the races i am (yes im grateful for the races i am )but sometimes i do feel like being mixed is kinda hard because you might not be accepted by your race since your multiple races.

They’re talking about the bridge of the nose. Most Asians have flat or low nose bridge and caucasians have a nose bridge that is slopes down not inward but very straight and goes from the middle of their eyes to the end of the nose. It’s seen as very pretty and sharp over there.

It really depends on what nationality or race your other half is. If your mother or father are of asian roots, there's a chance that nobody would notice you're a half.

Being half Japanese is great if you enjoy constant attention especially from the opposite sex but personally it gets tiring listening to people tell me how they love my pale complexion, my eye/hair colour, height of my nose, how I can speak both Japanese and English etc etc. I feel like its harder to make meaningful relationships (romantic/friends) because you attract so much superficial people who just want to be around you for your exterior quality rather than the internal. I guess if you're super outgoing extrovert being half-Japanese in Japan is amazing, introverts like me who spent most of my life in Europe where I was regarded as Asian and received very little attention for my looks to suddenly get shit ton of attention is very jarring and uncomfortable. Its not all bad of course, I've met some very interesting people along the way, some who are now my closest friends and I wouldn't have it any other way but too many people think (mostly young Japanese people) that being half-Japanese automatically puts you in the winning team (人生勝ち組) but I honestly it really isn't all sunshine and rainbows.

[@leonsl5537]

ShibaPatrol I‘m also half Japanese half European(german). I also get to hear a lot of compliments about my looks in Japan while I am THE standard Chinese for many in Germany. I live in Germany and as you said I don’t get nearly as much attention here as in Japan. That’s why I enjoy it a lot to hear so many compliments in Japan. I get there once a year for a few weeks and I think that’s the perfect proportion.

Me being a foreigner in Japan, I overall like to hang around half-japanese a lot more than full-blooded japanese. They tend to be a lot more open-minded and to have far less fixed ideas given by the medias on things they don't even understand themselves. I like japanese people, don't get me wrong, but being around them all the time can get pretty tiring after a while, because it's hard to get over all the superficial talk.

[@krashme997]

I think it happens more in elementary school and middle school because kids can be mean. I wasn’t bullied more than other kids for being half but my older sister was bullied a lot in 5th & 6th grade for being half and looking different with freckles and such features. It’s probably also because she wasn’t what they were used to or grew up with as she started going there in 3rd grade verses me who knew my classmates since kindergarten

[@Elvi9615]

MeiWebbify no it still happens in high schools. There’s a student who’s half and has lighter brown hair and eye color. He gets teased a lot especially in English class because the “joke” is that he looks like a native English speaker but isn’t so classmates make fun of him because he’s English isn’t great. But it’s so weird because the other students’ English is worse than his so idk what they get out of bullying him for no reason.

I probably shouldn't have any say on this one, but my Bullshit sensors are lighting up and off the charts on this vid. That first girl who said No, with that type of logic she displayed, I can see *_Alot_* of Japanese supporting what she said.

[@StratOCE]

I mean especially after all of the controversy over Naomi Osaka in the tennis and some other things recently, I think most Japanese are being quite careful about what they say about half-Japanese people and foreigners. Some Japanese people mentioned such a thing in one of Yuta's videos. Japanese in general will always prefer to be polite over expressing their true opinions too. That said, I suspect that younger people in Japan are becoming more receptive to the concept of nationality being based on more than just blood, and are becoming more receptive to other cultures in general, so I suspect at least some of these people genuinely believed what they were saying.

[@MissGourmandefr]

StratOCE Yes I'm familiar with Tatemae, though I will always see it as counter-intuitive, since lying itself is considered rude.

But where do your bullshit sensors base that speculation on? I live in Japan, and actually this video is quite accurate from my experience with a lot of Japanese people, especially these type of young people (not surprised some said Korean either with the current k-pop boom). A lot of Japanese people envy half Japanese because of cute/handsome celebrities like Becky, Rola, Yuu Shirota, and so on. For the most part they don't seem to give a thought about potential struggles like the girl who said "No". That said, as a mixed person myself, I don't have the struggle she mentioned at all. I identify with both of my cultures and support my home country (where I was born and raised) in sports events and the like.

Interesting part of the video is there’s a lot of mention of Filipinos which seems like something that wouldn’t be desirable given the history of japan and the Philippines. But I have noticed that a lot of Filipinos do have stronger features than other Asians but they can range from looking super asian to mixed to looking Hispanic. Pale skin all the way to super dark. Flat noses to long noses. Filipinos seem to have a lot of variety in how they look compared to Japanese or Chinese. They’re most likely talking about Filipinos who have the more mixed features and not the ones who are closer to the native Filipinos (dark skin, short stature, flat noses,etc)

[@heyhoyo259]

That's because white societies shun anyone speaking a different language than English. Go to the UK, US, Australia and it's all like that. They don't put zero value in knowing more than one language and actually hate you for it. They're scared you'll be "talking behind their back." Grow up in another society and knowing multiple languages is looked upon as a favorable thing.

[@ForsakenPixel]

@hey hoyo from my experience in United States, knowing multiple languages is a positive thing and many wish they could learn another language aside from English.

[@heyhoyo259]

@Forsaken Pixel Nagisa ah...I should have been more specific. If you're a white person wanting to learn and knowing multiple languages it's a plus. If you're a PoC, it's not. There's a reason why you'll always hear people yell "SPEAK ENGLISH! This is America/Australia/etc."

[@ForsakenPixel]

@hey hoyo hmm.. i think it may just be individuals that aren't willing to adopt a new language. While English may not be the official language in the United States it is the most widely spoken and locals may just want to be able to communicate in common tongue. However i do agree that no one should be looked down upon for speaking a different language, we're all human and we can communicate in several different ways, we aren't limited to only one option.

@@SaraOanimeOcookie maybe to you you are okay with SEA Asians, but in reality, SEA people are looked down, in the West, by Black People, even by East Asians, eventhough they won't say it directly to your face, cause it is associated with being poor and low-class due to history of colonization, they had to work under the sun(SEA countries located in middle of Earth so that's why it is really hot, cause skin to turn dark). You can call it blue-collar workers where they to had job that require hard-physical work. That's why in their mindset they don't like their own race, instead they even like whites, even many of them like mixed mixed race of their own with white people, because it is perceived as upgrading their status to high-class society. Like Brazil, it is obsessed with physical beauty. Even India view white-skin is désirable than dark-skinned. They have been influenced they are unwanted, undesired, because of colonization. Heck, they are even more friendly to unknown white-foreigner, including East Asians rather than random dude/girl of their own race. Sadly, this behavior cause them to be labeled as cheap, easy, eventhough some people already aware and not being too friendly of white-foreigners. Even I know some unknown East Asians get friends easily in here(in my country,one of SEA country too) and they are even famous in my country rather than some unknown their native race. They are hostile to their own race. So sad, while in East Asians, they don't even know SEA is frowned upon, even you Will know actually Japanese actually look-down on Non-Japanese and half-Japanese if you live there for long-term. You see even white-people admit East Asians are beautiful, but never say SEA Asians beaufitul. In the end, people Will say, physical beauty does not matter, but we can't help but look at physical appearance first, then personality is second. It is always like that. Beautiful people always get confidence cause people paid attention to them, envy of them cause Beautiful people has something people wanted. Beauty is associated with power, people would do anything to you. You have upper hand over people. Although many cases is common for Beautiful woman may have ugly male-partners, but Male is visual, so ugly woman won't get chances to date guy. I also see here people dislike someone of their own natives who has big, or fat-rounded facial structure, or unsymmetrical face( cause it makes them older if they have big face).
