      I’m Canadian, spouse Japanese (born in Canada) so not accepted as canadian in Canada or Japanese in Japan.
      All the usual xenophobic nonsense I’m used to living here. Empty bus seats around me, service people running away when I answer the door, onsen empties if I get in… etc.
      but what shocked me this time was we are trying to adopt a rescue cat.spouse fills out forms in Japanese, passport, ID, Mynumber, house ownership paperwork submitted… but the major rescue/shelters ignored us. Oh well, we moved on to Jimoty to try small independent rescues and rehoming posts…
      Today we got our 5th RUDE response that they won’t deal with “foreigners”…
      Dispite 3 decades of animal rescue and experience and us owning outright a 7ldk and work from home… we are unfit cat parents- because cats here only speak Japanese I guess?!
      Like, WTAF?!
      We literally are now driving 3 hrs bc no one nearby will consider us, even as permanent residents and spouse has the magic bloodline… yeeeesh.

      Hi can you please disable the RUclips auto translate feature? It is absolutely awful and it completely butchers the video, removing half of the dialogue and all of your charm. On my current version of the RUclips app I don't even get the option to switch audio tracks so it just defaults to the god awful robo voice auto translation.

Shes a very relaxed, life is good type individual. Shes not embarrassed to speak English in front of anyone. She gets it. She can't change who she is but gets along in both worlds.

    The part-Peruvian guy is right. I've also thought from the first video I saw of you that despite your (then) much longer time in China, your Japanese accent sounds much better than your Chinese one. I wonder if your greater experience with language learning in general let you acquire good speaking habits from the beginning. Or maybe it's more social! Being married to a Japanese guy means you're essentially "all-in" on Japan as part of your identity.

I'm a non-Japanese Asian foreigner but I think the way I dress and style myself looks almost the same, and I present pretty much Japanese in Japan, I don't speak that great Japanese so they have a tendency to think I'm a half Japanese or raised abroad.

      She would blend perfectly in Mexico. She looks straight up mestiza. Now in a more European-white Latin country like Argentina, yes, she could be mistaken for Asian. But Mexico has way more native people mixed with Spanish. Just remember, Native Americans comes from Asia, so it’s also evident in ther DNA.

    When you say Pia, it is instantly a Swedish name of course. But just judging by looks, I would be torn between Latina and Filipino. Rare or indefinable beauty often comes from the most uncommon mixes of race. I would mention Marie Helvin, a former supermodel, who is a glorious mix of French, Danish and Japanese. Actress Freida Pinto is another, her looks drawing from her Indian/Portuguese descent. Anyway, keep talking to such beautiful people Anming - it does your channel no harm at all!!!

    Honestly, I think one of the biggest things that makes her look Latina is her hairstyle and false lashes. As a child she looked very Japanese with her clothes and hair. Now with a slick back bun and long lashes, very Latina looking. I think if she had bangs and maybe a long Bob with common japanese makeup, she'd look more Japanese. I never realized that a hairstyle can really alter a person's look!

    For me just upon looking, it’s not so much her looks but how she carries herself also. Her hair is slicked back really tight and she looks like she’s going to an important business meeting. She looks like a strong woman in her facial expressions too so it could be intimidating. I think a softer hairdo on her would make her more approachable.

    London is close to where I was born. But I'm really glad I got out years ago. What a mix of languages this lady speaks. I didn't think she was Japanese. Looks can be deceptive.

    Korea really doesn't either. Its a Asian cultural thing. What I have discovered is that they are more opened to white-mixed race but even then that varies. Bullying is a SERIOUS thing that they never really address. It always came off to us as either you "fit" or "you don't" and that's that.

    My ex is mixed thai/swedish, and I thought she was Latina before we were dating. For some reason, the asian/swedish mix sometimes has that effect.
    On another note: she's absolutely stunning, so the lack of attention in Japan is surprising to me.

    1:03 As a mixed swedish/chinese person living in Sweden I just had to say that Sweden is a really diverse country when it comes to ethnicities. There is a bigger chance that people would speak swedish to you if they saw you in public than for people to think that you are a foreigner. I don't know the statistics but im guessing about half of Sweden or maybe even more is non swedish ethnicities.

      Your last sentence is sad to hear.
      And I'm not trying to troll or being a jerk here. It's sad to see native people's culture diluted and them lose control of their own nations no matter what people it is. And I don't blame the ppl who immigrate in mass, it's the elites in the EU who push it and the ones who make other nations unlivable with their wars and religious/tribal garbage. It's just sad for both ppl who are losing their cultural and national identity and the ppl who have to escape theirs as well.

    A lovely young woman and I can definitely see her as Japanese. If she was to wear her hair in a more Japanese style and also clothing she would be instantly taken to be Japanese by an Australian like me. Although, I can see how frustrating it can always be seen as a foreigner. Japanese prospective partners don't know what they are missing. OFC she should not have to compromise her style to please others. 💖

  • @michaeltaylor8501

    I have distant Japanese ancestry - 11 generations back - & more-recent Swedish ancestry - from only 3 generations back (among many other ancestral ties). IMO, it's all good (& I wouldn't be able to write this without them; so, I thank God for bringing them all together as He did).
    Now, to me her face appears more Japanese than Swedish & her figure looks quite Scandinavian-like (as in hour-glass like): quite nice overall (whether or not she's mistaken for a foreigner among her own Peoples).
    😎👍
    I have so many racial, ethnic, & regional mixes in my ancestry that I wonder if any of my ancestors had any great social issues to deal with in their lives (esp since many were at war with one another at some point in time).
    Now, she comes across as if Japanese men don't seem to like her looks; but, the rumor is that Japanese men aren't pursuing women much lately (& Japan's birth-rate is way down); so, currently she might be experiencing more of a national trend than a personal rejection (& hopefully this situation will change sometime soon).
