Political correctness kills free speech and freedom.

Same news was reported in China and comments were hilarious, no POLITICAL CORRECTNES ......

she looks cute what else we can say?

Honestly, she wasn't even that pretty to crown Miss Japan in the World. I think the Japanese delegation want to use her mult background to win global competition which is disgusting tactic.

You misinterpret the difference of cultural diversity with racial homogeneity. There is no scientific law that back up that creativity stem from racial diversity. In fact, it is quite the opposite. The pure form of creativity lie in racial homogeneity with cultural diversity. China is an example of that. US as well. Almost all the top experts in tech and scientific field are rather homogeneous racially. You don't see many half-mixed race that dominate in those fields, do you?

See an open atmosphere is needed for talent to thrive. Look at creativity in advanced countries. It has a good correlation with the level of openness to talent and new ideas.

So it is all about being open to new ideas, thoughts, cultures. And people from different backgrounds bring together a lot of diversity in experience hence enhancing the number and scale of ideas.

Look at the AI expert list I posted. US has a number of AI experts, a lot of whom are from China, Eastern Europe, India and other places. It is a magnet of talent.

At the end of the day, a successful country will need to be a magnet of talent. Or you will always live in your little shell.

He is also mixing selected immigration (a biased policy like eugenics) with massively racial integration..

He is trying to selling his views in a bid to turn China into another racial warfare like in US where minorities are bullied, Hispanic are openly discriminated, Asians are given more restriction on college entrance, blacks are randomly killed. And he calls that a success! What kind of contry is a success when the downtown of a city is a no-go-zone at night?

This world is crazy!

He has been intoxicated and brainwashed by US propaganda.

Germany is culturally quite homogenous and ethnically diverse in a sense that we have always welcomed foreigners, such as the Hugenottes, the Dutch and Polish people in the past. All of them brought highly needed skills such as shipbuilding and windmill technology by Dutch, agriculture and adjecent manufacturing (sugar, tobacco), silk making by the Hugenottes.

But what happens right now in Germany is cultural and ethnical suicide.

To be honest, she looks more Japanese than Indian, also look quite average to me.

Most East Asian nations are not immigrant nations, so all minorities are rather native. And she was definitely crowned for the political reason.

This kind of media attention is definitely an attempt to shift the real social problem.

Japan is facing many real social issues, and their media is hyping this in order to divert the attention.

The 2 girls in the background look better to be honest.

some dark skin people find it sensitive because they have low EQ and IQ

she looks cute what else we can say?

Why is her surname Japanese, i thought her dad is an Indian

In japan you get Japanese Name after citizenship, their way of integration . Just like almost every Chinese in the west have a very western sounding first name .

Sorry but this is bullshit, many overseas Chinese don't have a western first name. And no i'm not talking about first name i'm talking about surname. Surname of the father's side carries on the family lineage, so are you using your dad's surname or your mom's ? The question i'm asking is very legit, was her parents' motivation for dropping the Indian surname for their daughter? Is having a Japanese surname better so she would not face discrimination in Japan? I don't know just thinking out loud

 

[Cherokee]

Also quite a few Sumo's of non Japanese heritage have been dominating that competition for years so this is not something new .

 

[terranMarine]

Also the previous winner in Japan was Ariana Miyamoto.
While her dad is African American her mom is Japanese, yet the parents used a Japanese surname. I'm puzzled are they too embarrassed and wants to hide the Japanese word "hafu" from the public ?

This is not bullshit . Here's something to jog your memory

Glad that we have got that out of the way .

now lets respond to second part of your comment . You seem to be awfully unaware about the world .

Read this : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Mongolian_sumo_wrestlers

In each of the name click the link and check original names .

Good now read this as well : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_nationality_law#Naturalization

Sometimes applicants were given advice on Japanese names, but choosing a Japanese sounding/appearing name was never a requirement; there are examples through history of naturalized Japanese choosing legal names that did not appear ethnically Japanese. However, in 1983, the Ministry of Justice revised its manuals and application guides and examples to make it clear that using names of non-Japanese origin can be acceptable, by making the "before" and "after" hanja/kanji name of fictitious example ethnically Korean applicants the same in order to emphasize that applicants who come from Chinese character name cultures can keep their names
