So to be clear a caucasian women winning miss Japan is wrong because she isn't born Japanese yet lived the biggest part of her life in Japan but a man winning a womens beautycontest is stunning and brave.... right...

[DutchVanDer_Linde]

I love when he said "it's homophobin time" and quickly became homophobic, this truly is one of the stories of all time.

[doggedogge]

The Colombian and Egyptian girls are the only sane one, others not so much.

[Superman]

How many black women have represented for European countries and even won? Tons of them, but nobody gave af about that

[kariciagerman]

Any race can represent the US, but a person from Japan has to look certain way? Hmm...

[stellajourney]

Beauty is subjective that's what no one talks about! It's not about the race, or the place you come from it's about the perspective and attraction (attractiveness).

[kariciagerman]

Just a random fact, speaking of beauty standards: In Russia being pale is not nessesarily considered beautiful, people associate tan skin with someone who can afford going on vacation regularly and it's seen as a healthier look.

The question I wished you HAD asked to each of your interviewees was this:

"What should Miss America LOOK like?"

Each of them would have said: "Like ME!" 😇 Missed an opportunity there, brother.

3:49 My accent is far from American, sure learning American accent is hard (is it really?), especially if you're from a country where its language is far from English (or even Spanish, since some Americans do speak Spanish).

[pinkkitten_nails]

She’s not miss Japan omg research people. This was a beauty contest out on by the wada lab corp NOT miss japan who goes on to compete as miss universe and they did it to get this exact reaction controversy to promote their pageant. People are so gullible to Corp media narratives. And btw being obsessed with race is sick. Let people live there are all ethnicities everywhere now isn’t it time to grow up humanity

[StrongKickMan]

She doesn'T believe in white beauty standards? Tell me you are from the U.S, without telling me you are from the U.S. Maybe she should start to believe in any beauty standard, because she ain't pretty and doesn't seem to put much effort in how she looks.

[mikemin]

I don't think people get the fact that she won Miss Japan.. In Japan. Like the Japanese people cleaaarly didn't have a problem with her if THEY voted? It is weird cause I do agree that if you're looking for the most beautiful or handsome person of a nation, it should be someone who represents that nation like a native. I wouldn't go out and try to win Mr. Jamaica or Mr. Vietnam cause I am clearly not that. But at the end of the day she already won the award so if you complain and have an actual real problem with this like some of the people they interviewed, you're just whining for no reason.

[HongKongEclectic]

She wasn't Miss Universe Japan (which is the real beauty pageant winner) but a private company PR stunt who run their own 'miss Japan' competition. Nevertheless, if she was raised in Japan, educated there, speaks the language, that's no different to being Japanese than immigrants in other counties such as the US or Britain.

[YoY]

As an Interviewer to be so insufferable a prixk and incendiary on social issues is a talent.

[dungenwalkerr]

So you are telling us why there should be no Asian born representatives in such an event in the US.

[jeremebonesaw]

I would say anyone born and raised in any country should he able to qualify, however, Japanese laws are nkt the same as American laws.

[csmth]

Completely wrong context. Karolina Shiino has one of her parent as Japanese, she spent most of her time in Japan, and all her eduction is conducted in Japan. Her only citizenship is Japanese. She is a foreigner in every Western nation. How can one deny her as a Japanese without a racist or skin color argument?

Kazuo Ishiguro is the same case. He is a British novelist who won a Nobel Prize of literature. He only wrote English novels. He never wrote Japanese novel. Would you deny his prize or deny to recognize he is a British novelist only because of his skin color?

[kaleimaile]

I am Japanese American and if I went to Japan, I would not be considered Japanese. I think the person should be from the country. She should have been Japanese born in Japan.

[YunikuYosefMomoka]

Beauty is subjective but if she still had Japanese citizenship it would make sense.
As it’s not accurate representation regardless of her being white.
Regardless if she is white or not, she was not at least born and raised in Japan 🇯🇵 which is still inaccurate.

[강우주-wy]

I wonder if the Japanese people who agreed to this decision would also agree to filling the positions of the Japanese president and Japanese lawmakers with people from other countries.
I respect Japan's diversification, but Japan must not lose its color.
