    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

            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?

                Did I invent my criticism?

                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.

                    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.

              Apparently, mr. Kkkaveman here is a better judge of Japanese citizenship. Gee, maybe they should replace all border agents with 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.

          That’s definitely not about me, because she apperently faced exactly the same critics as the ones I advanced.

          There is nothing racist in acknowledging OBVIOUS differences and respecting them

          I hope you feel better for how not racist and good you are

            A bunch of Americans believe the Earth is flat, does that mean all Americans are stupid?

                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?
