Posted in: Multiracial Miss Japan hopes to change homeland's thinking on identity See in context
Calling somebody "Japanese", etc. can be confusing because it can be regarded as either referring to one's ethnicity or where they grew up. In Japan which is almost mono-racial, it is often thought of as ethnicity. In the UK which is increasingly multi-racial, it is often thought of as place of birth. For me though it is neither, as I have both big ties with the UK and Japan so feel like I am mixed British and Japanese, but I don't think most people think that way. I can only regard somebody who has lived their entire life in Japan as Japanese. Their ethnicity may differ, but I don't think it is right to be prejudiced based on this unless it is of factual reasons such as starring as a Japanese person in a historical movie.
