      How is that misogyny?

      Also, pretty normal that a group of people wants someone to represent them to look like them lol

        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

            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

                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?

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

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Ukraine-born winner of the Miss Japan beauty pageant has given up her crown after a tabloid report revealed her affair with a married man.

    Karolina Shiino, 26, was crowned Miss Japan two weeks ago but her win sparked public debate due to her heritage.

    While some welcomed the naturalised citizen’s crowning, others said she didn’t represent traditional Japanese beauty ideals.

    The article in the Shukan Bunshun reported that Ms Shiino had engaged in a relationship with a married influencer and doctor.

    In its initial response to the report last week, the pageant organisers defended Ms Shiino, saying she hadn’t known the man was married.

    Ms Shiino also apologised to her fans and the general public in a statement on Monday, where she said she had acted out of fear and panic in response to the report.
