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.

How about whites in Japan? I would imagine they be worshipped?

Nope. I have two friends who are white with Japanese spouses. One couple lives in the US and the other lives in Japan. Both have children. The family that live in the US have normal, American family lives. The family that lives in Japan have to send their mixed race kids to an international school because of extreme bullying and ostracization of their half white kids. Like a pp said, it’s pure Japanese or nothing.

But if you look at the advertising in Japan, they very clearly worship half-white Japanese people.

There are half black and half south Asian Japanese people who are famous in Japan as well

Wasn’t she supposed to be an introvert and avoid spotlights? She’s screaming for attention here. What gives?

Not only that is that attention seeking behavior, but it’s looks really stupid.

Pearl Harbor? Bataan Death March?

I like Naomi. I'm rooting for her but an entrance to an early round match at the Australian Open is not a good setting for a fashion show.

I appreciate what Coco said a couple weeks ago "Sport should remain focused on performance on the court, not on political or social movements." That should also include fashion movements like what Naomi did.

Wear an advent garde outfit as your kit - that is fine. Walk in a runway show. Again, fine. But don't walk as in a runway show as the entrance to the tennis match.

She just had a baby in July and now only three months later may have split with the baby's father? Ugh, I hope not. Although that guy didn't seem to be very productive - in her documentary he seemed to just lay around watching tv all the time doing nothing.

Rappers aren’t all that interested in long term relationships.

That’s a pretty ugly stereotype. Plenty of rappers are in long-term marriages, and plenty of non-rappers aren’t. Professions don’t determine character.

It’s completely absurd, but really, so much of the public sphere is absurd and completely out of touch with reality right now. This is the age in which we find ourselves.

It feels a little reminiscent of Dennis Rodman, maybe? But he always showed up on the court dressed to play basketball, right? The theatrics were on his own time as I recall.

She’s like a 30 year old mom but she acts like an immature petulant child. Did she graduate from high school? No wonder the rapper took her for a ride. She seems very gullible and stupid.
