  No, i have never met a japanese that whishes he/she was white but i do know of japanese people that get eye surgery (double eye lids) etc because they like how it looks, do you honestly think all of japan like to be tan,have double eye lid surgery, have breast implants? Try coming to japan and see how we treat foreigners of any race. If we wanted to be white, we would welcome millions of whites here every year (like the *Millions* of wapanese).  Its kind of hard to compete when you are brainwashed with as you people call it *jewish* media/movies/propganda day by day and told what is beautiful and what is not. There are people of ANY race that are told what is beautiful and what they think IS beautiful, so some* (youre trying to make it seem like all?) asians want to have bigger eyes like westerners, just like some whites want to try and dress black (but there are some whites that *wish* they were black but ive never met a japanese *wish* they were white) etc.   As a Japanese national, you must keep your interaction with other Japanese to an absolute minimum then. In my experience I have met many Japanese that gushed over how great it must be to have blue eyes, a prominent nose, or blonde hair, or even a smallish face. Even on the television news Matsui is poked fun at for having the largest head on the NY Yankees, and on more TV dramas than I care to remember hearing the phrase Kao ga chiisai to describe a possible suitor or define the standard of beauty. In general, Asians tend to have larger heads than Caucasians do and the Japanese are no exception. A big head seems to be undesirable in Japan even as it is genetically prevalent there.    So if I am to understand correctly, the ideal of beauty that is purported on Japanese TV (white skin, big eyes, double eyelids, big breasts, protruding buttocks) is not an idealization/romanticization of caucasian physical features? You want the traits themselves, but are able to divorce that desire from any vestige of wanting to in fact appear caucasian rather than Japanese? As I said in my previous post, the Japanese aren't honest with themselves on many levels and this is but one manifestation.    For the record, I never said that white women/men do not wish they were or act black. It personally sickens me, but I don't claim that the white race is acts as one and the same. It seems to me that Japanese tend to speak in terms of We Japanese and I don't think that even as a Japanese yourself that you have the authority to speak on behalf of the some 120 million Japanese in existence. Sure, Japan has a lot of good qualities and I'll be the first to admit that. There is a tendency to gloss over, downright hide, exclude or conveniently explain things away that aren't so flattering to you. I'm a big proponent of seeing yourself in a clear light, warts and all. This is how you grow both individually and as a community and culture. Avoiding or ignoring inconvenient truths helps no one, and I think that you are misrepresenting your culture to make it appear more appealing to the readers of this forum.    There are Japanese that want to be black. I see them all the time. (Jiggers or Japafricans, some would call them)    There are whites that want to be black. I see them all the time (and want to puke)    There are Japanese that want to be white. I see them and talk to them all the time. You try to explain it away conveniently as everyone looking the same and it being so boring that you are compelled to try and look Caucasian and draw most of your cartoon characters as Caucasian. Not black, not Asian, not Indian, but Caucasian.    There are whites that want to be Japanese. I won't deny that. Most of these folks are the geeky otaku type, but I would argue that Japanese wanting to be white covers a broader range of the populace.    Actually, I would say that many Japanese would like to be both Caucasian and Japanese. Perhaps a little hard to swallow, but I think that's a hard truth.    Anyway, beats Japanese wanting to be black or Hispanic, no?    Kokujo - Japanese girls that like black men:     http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...171791,00.html
