It’s racist for pointing out that “Japanese” means something? “(Native) American” means something? And to bring white washing to light?

The hypocrites on Lemmy is astounding…

There would have to be a term amalgamated, but by the essence of the definition, yes. You would be altering something in favor of another race/ethnicity.

Don’t try to hide white washing by arguing someone is racist for pointing it out lmfao.

The racist is you, not me or the mod here.

Except for what is genetically and culturally identifiable as Japanese.

Whitewashing…

It becomes genetic when you bring race into it “miss” “Japanese/japan” “Ukraine/ukrainian” they also have to show knowledge of their culture, race, language, etc. the beauty is a tiny fraction of it. But let’s make it the largest part of our argument….

But hey, apparently I’m the myopic one….

Call it the beauty pageant of Japan if you don’t want to bring anything but beauty into it… not up to them, do it yourself if you want to put your culture on them.

Yet they are being forced to accept outside culture since they wouldn’t be “inclusive”….

It’s whitewashing and there’s nothing to get over, other than we need to stop pushing our cultures on others until there is nothing of their own left.

Nothing to do with oppression, but of course fallacies help to make your agenda.

How well did that work out for Native Americans…? They were so overtaken they were forgotten lmfao.

Not everything needs to be whitewashed, just look at native Americans, they’ve already even forgotten and this happened to them. History repeats itself….

They can always go and make their own inclusive pageant, instead of the reverse happening in every country. Since they are more or less forced to be inclusive and give up their heritage so they aren’t protested by people who don’t understand.

Yes everything gets whitewashed and entire culture gets forced out again.

Why is it that native Americans had to go and make their own pageant so they weren’t forgotten?

“Japanese” means something, unlike American. When you hear Japanese, you don’t think white person, same with (Native) American. See how I had to specify so you know which? Same thing is happening with these pageants.

If someone were to look up images of a Japanese person, they would be very confused to find pictures of a white person. Yes they are Japanese culturally, but not physically or genetically. These are what the pageants are about, not everything needs to be inclusive of all aspects. It ruins the intents of it.
