Yes, they are.

Being 'polite' has nothing to do with whether or not they are racist. They relegate all foreigners or minorities to poor/ghetto districts, inter-marriage of race or ethnicity but especially both is heavily frowned upon, beauty is to be the palest upon palest snow-white as possible and if you're not that - screw you, and Japanese media is openly discriminatory.

BTW their discrimination isn't just again non-Asians, the Japanese hate ANYONE that isn't Japanese and wants to live and/or mix with them. I have a Korean-American friend with a half-white son who is constantly facing judgement - so much so that she's coming back to the U.S. because the Japanese a) don't like that she's 'foreign', b) don't like that she isn't fluent in the language (but her son is), and c) think anything she does that is counter-culture to Japanese practices is wrong.

Here's a lovely shopkeeper advertisement that says 'Japanese Only'. It was specifically known to target Chinese consumers in the area - but you get the idea.

Let's process this for a minute.

The American super-star, in an American event, chooses to bully the non-American referee and the non-American finalist player.

And all this shows....how Japanese people discriminate others in Japan?

Maybe you have mental problems?

This thread isn't about the sporting event but rather cultural perception and acceptance in society. Especially since Naomi Osaka is representing a culture that categorically rejects who she is.

Fair point.

This thread is about how an American superstar chose to humiliate a Japanese player and a Portuguese umpire during a US tournament.

Pretty shameful if you ask me, but I'm confident you'll find a good excuse for it.

Did you miss the thread that Naomi is about as Japanese as my hangnail? And accepted about as much as well?

Here's her mom and dad in the 90s. They both look like cool kids.

You should be ashamed of yourself. With stupid people like Serena and yourself, how can we ask for fair treatment?

Why do people keep saying Naomi is not American? She has dual citizenship. Japan and USA.

Does she? I had no idea. Apparently she's not in fluent in Japanese.

[Anonymous]

She appears to have plenty of Japanese friends on her twitter feed. Perhaps you are coloring all Japanese with one brushstroke?

And you think the same kind of sentiment doesn't apply to Koreans or Chinese?
Do you know how they think of Japanese in their respective countries?
Extremely naive to think it is just one way...

[Anonymous]

The PPs who are opining about what Naomi Osaka is or isn't etc etc might want to read more about what she has to say. I thought this was a terrific profile of her, published a few weeks ago in the NYT magazine (I believe that's where the OP snagged the photo): https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/23/magazine/naomi-osakas-breakthrough-game.html

You should be ashamed of yourself bc it’s quite clear you didn’t actually watch the match and you are looking to troll.

[Anonymous]

Np. Drop the stuff about the match and serena please. Off topic. There's already a thread on that. And it's titillating. Head over!

You seem really triggered by what Serena did. Take your meds and a glass of wine and move on from this thread. You seem very unstable.

[Anonymous]

This thread is a dumpster fire, from the people who can't understand how Naomi could celebrate and identify with being Japanese, to those who think the Japanese can't be racist because they are polite (??), to the racist comments about Serena.

[Anonymous]

If you don't have Japanese blood, they will not grant you Japanese citizenship. Even if your grandparents had immigrated long time ago. This happened to a Chinese man.

Yes, they are polite but jingo-racists. Here's the Japanese race hierarchy: Whites on top, then Japanes, all other Asians, dark people at the bottom.

[Anonymous]

At least we can all agree that we hate Serena and love Osaka.

[Anonymous]

also there seems to be at least one person convinced that Japan is the only asian country that is racist towards darker skinned people.
