@@homie3461 I don't think you can NOT be Japanese just because one is "hafu." If people in Okayama considered ONODA Kimi to NOT be Japanese, I doubt they would've vote for her. Same with the current Governor of Okinawa, TAMAKI-san.

@@homie3461 We only approve 1,000 nationalizations each year, and majority applicants are Permanent Residents, Spouses & Children of Japanese nationals, Japanese Descendants, or foreign children who were raised and educated in Japan. But I do understand what you're saying about nationality vs ethnicity. Multi-culturalism will never be tolerated in Japan. I know that the only foreigners who will ever be accepted in Japanese society are those who are willing adapt to Japanese language, culture, norms, behaviors, mindset, mannerism, aesthetics...in other words, become part of Japan. Those who can not or will not assimilate culturally and integrate socially will be alienated and isolated, so that they will leave Japan. That said, I got the impression that the last kid is struggling with something other than ethnic/racial identity. Seriously, how many Japanese men will dress like that? If I had to guess he's a different type of minority.

I don't know what triggered you but there are plenty of European wives living in Japan too. And I don't believe that all Italians are loud, energetic, and outgoing social extroverts.

@parihumai7466 There used to be a research on Japanese emigrants on why 1st generation and 2nd/3rd generation have different faces, even though they were all genetically fully Japanese. Or more bluntly, why don't 2nd/3rd generation look like people in Japan. The conclusion was that the primary language impacts facial expressions, muscles, etc...and changes the face. I presume it's also why we tend to find people with phonetic overlap to be more elegant and attractive when they speak Japanese. The other component is obviously mannerism. We don't speak with our hands like in some cultures. Apparently, the eyes and eyebrows matter more, which is one of the reasons suspected why people in Japan have no issue with masks. In contrast, apparently, people in western countries can cover their eyes but require to see the mouth/lips for communication.
