@@SpikeTheWolf she's never had the experience of someone not wanting to introduce her to their family out of fear of disapproval. She goes on to say she doesn't feel she is the average Japanese person's type. The average Japanese person would avoid dating her to begin with out of fear of their family's disapproval. That is What makes it the experience.

The aboriginals of Japan were of African decent, but of course the European colonizers had to ruin everything like all the other ethnicities throughout history 😑. All you gotta do understand the story of Yasuke and why the warlord didn't want him as a slave but as someone in his ranks. The reason behind the warlords actions & words tells who were the real ancestors of Japan. The pictures aren't hard to find either.....
@@sunofsonzjust look up east asian countries suicide rates (actually dont include china because thats a whole huge country) south korea and japan are killing themselves in huge rates and the birth rates are dropping like crazy and we all know its obviously because of recent historical context but they are basically slaves to their parents themselves its an huge problem that the whole world knows and honestly its kinda sad to even put an kid in this type of society
They completely destroy their bloodline do they give them one more of theirs and you delete one of yours. I hope you people know that you are being manipulated emotionally by these people using the race and victim card to subdue you
Great example” the tennis player Naomi Osaka’s is haitian on her father’s side but she doesn’t have his name, she has her mother’s last name, for the same reason.
A friend of mine married a Japanese person about 15 years ago. My friend is African. Only one of the Japanese person's family knew and attended the wedding. Many children later, they've finally let the parents and extended family know that their in-law is African! This is not a thing of the past, it still persists in Japan. I de-personalised this comment out of respect for my friend and their lovely spouse.
Black people are HATED all over the world for no other reason than the color of their skin. And to think, no one on this earth chose their color of their skin...not even the racists. Sometimes I wish there was a way racist people could wake up one morning, BLACK AF!!!! Say it loud 🗣️📣I'M BLACK AND I'M PROUD!!!!!
I'm gonna have to take a trip to Japan. Would LOVE to try to riz these mixed chicks. The Japanese guys can send them all my way. Every video I see of one of these "Blazian?"... females....maaannneee, whatever those genes are doing, are doing it for me! Have yet to see a girl on these videos, that fir me, isn't bad AF!
Born in 1952 in Osaka, Japan, my mother Japanese and dad is African American. I was definitely not accepted back then. My birth name is Suehiro Matsunaga
@@nathanmerritt1581 I believe you misunderstood her. She implied that she in fact does use her father's name. When she started her sentence with "my birth name is" one could assume she doesn't use it, because you would just simply state your name otherwise. Also, it is not uncommon when one has interracial or even foreign born parents with a different language, to have a name in more than one languages. Only one is generally legal, whilst the other is familial/traditional.
@@nathanmerritt1581because if a person is born in Japan to a Japanese parent they should have a Japanese name by law, even if the other parent is non Japanese.
As a ghanaian half Asian who doesn't know what my Asian half is ,I'm Soo glad we can finally talk about this,it's such a weird experience having your mom's family literally pretend you don't exist.

Lmao we can all read the title of the video it’s the fact that SHE in the video didn’t need to specify whether it was maternal or paternal. Maybe the interviewer asked specifically but we don’t know, plus in my experience as a Blasian child and hearing stories n family drama it was also my asian grandparents that had a problem. And if you’re a black or mixed person that has interacted with this you wouldn’t necessarily find that surprising. I’ve literally had aunts tell me to lighten my skin or that in winter when I’m lighter I’m more attractive like!?!?!?
My dearest people of the world. I'm Yoruba from Nigeria, and I can say from the heart, that our Ghanaian brothers and sisters, are some of the kindest, wonderful and beautiful people in the world. In regards to composure, poise and temperament, I can't think of a more compatible coupling than between Ghanaians and Japanese. Much love and respect. Love is a beautiful thing.
It doesn't matter to most Japanese people of that generation. If you were not Japanese they wouldn't like it. I have Japanese cousins and they are part black and it's the same thing when they were young. The difference is the father was Japanese and the mother was Black American and they went through it. To be honest there have only been maybe 25 Africans that went to Japan before WW2, so it's not surprising.
I hate to see when my people loudly proclaim/try to prove that they are "good enough" for persons of other races and ethnicities. A Ghanaian person doesn't have to be exceptional to be accepted as a human being worthy of respect. Black people more often than not try to judge people based on who they are rather than their appearance but other races seldom grant us that courtesy. I really want black people to stop having to prove that we are "one of the good ones" when no other race has to.
my ex is Japanese and Black and her dad can’t go back to Japan because his family disowned him for marrying a Black woman. it’s actually kinda crazy how he gets family news.. like he didn’t know his dad died til like 3 years later
He obviously was okay with leaving that repressive family culture. Who throws away their children because they marry interculturally? If you truly love your child then act like it. However, I could understand if the Japanese parents met the woman and found out she was shady or a gold digger. Character is important. But that wasn’t the case. That’s why Japan is an aging and dying culture. They are ethnocentric and closed off.
It’s so sad to hear that at 24 years old she experienced what I did in the 1970s. My mother is Japanese, my father is African, and yes, my mother was disowned by my grandfather when she married my dad. Luckily my Japanese mother is very open and tolerant about both my brother and I marrying outside our race. She’s very beautiful. Just wanted to add.
@@Coronet_shopI Dont know this person,and i know that black people ,as with anyone else,can be super welcomint,so maybe their black grandparents were tolerant of the relationship. But idk. As an African, as a black person, I know that sometimes we too can also be very prejudiced . If there is conflict within countries about marrying even within your group, how much more when you marey outside of it? From what iv observed around me, a lot of african parents can be resustant towards the idea of their chilren marrying non black people. Then again, perhaps this person's experience was different. I hope so 🥲
We went through the same thing in 2012. My husband is russian and I'm american...his family, despite living in America, HATED the idea of their son dating or marrying an America (or any of their family really). So he hid it from them for nearly 8 months. Even once we were married, his mother tried getting him to leave me multiple times and tried setting him up with different Russian girls from his church. They HATED me for years, his whole family minus maybe 10 of them and it wasn't until his sister married a jack ass russian man that his mother changed her tune. She hugged me for the first time 2 years ago (we've been married 9 years, together for 12) and said she loved me for the first time last year. I have never disrespected them, never challenged them, never been rude or mean, never dared raise my voice with them, and tried for years to get them to like me. Finally, after about 6 or 7 years being married, and his sisters saying I wasn't trying hard enough, I told my husband I was done being around them only to be insulted behind my back (or to my face in Russian). He agreed, cussed his sisters out, told his parents they either got their shit together or they'd never see us again, and then blocked them for 2 months to let's it settle and they finally backed off
I'd have reminded your grandpa how Mabiki only very recently stopped being a thing....so like...who cares what he has to say when it's about something completely harmless??
Marintia, you are so beautiful, full of love, grace and confident. I bet there is hardly anyone over there who can compete against you. Keep your head high. We are proud of you.
People don’t realize how much race plays apart in every aspect of life on earth which is crazy since we are all humans. And being black or of African descent really troubles a lot of people out of fear and ignorance. Which is crazy because when it comes to culture we are the most accepting people. Edit: Speaking strictly for blacks in America we are too accepting. I don’t know anything about how they run their culture in Africa. But I stand by what I say about people hating blacks everywhere whether you are from Africa or Iceland this skin bothers people for no reason.
We are all equal,sickness or death does not discriminate. When sickness or death comes tell them I am white, or Japanese, or Royal,or rich etc.That is the only thing that makes us equal.
I've known a number of people from African countries, mostly West Africa, and they were all kind, polite, and beautifully eager to share their culture. 💖 If I ever have the money, I want to visit Nigeria at minimum. From what I've heard and watched, it's wonderful, especially the green rural areas. (FTR, I'm a pasty American Jew. I grew up semi-rural, and I still love the quiet of being away from cities, though I do want to visit Lagos and the FCT.)
Yeah but we gotta give monocultural countries some grace. Many aren’t exposed to different looks and ways of living. Idk where you’re from but as an American, I’m blessed to be around a huge variety of cultures, languages and different looking people so it’s a lot easier to be accepting of differences.

@@hadeseye2297 there are more tribes than just Navajo and Sioux 😭 but yes I do have Native ancestry on my moms side. We are descendants of the people of the Mohawk tribe. So what’s your point? 😭
My Mom is Japanese (from Okinawa) and my Dad is Black. They definitely disapprove. My Mom said her Family didn't really come around until she started having Babies, then they softened a little.
Babies can do that. Heard of many stories where their mixed child opened the eyes of close-minded parents because the baby showed them unconditional love because babies and toddlers aren't racist and don't discriminate So, these parents see firsthand that their child is just like any other child. These are longstanding beliefs that have to continually be dismantled longterm. Godspeed on your journey.
That happened with my mom & dad too, except my mother is Korean & my dad is black. My moms mom was the first to come around & convinced the rest of the family to accept us kids because we were innocent in all of this, if they can’t accept our dad. I loved that lady so much, she passed away when I was 14. I’m also named Monica as my English name! 😊
@@JustEnjoyThisShiibeing from a military community I often see Korean women with black American women. Its quite common. It's more common than Korean and white American men.
Wow, and the combination of both black and Japanese is just beautiful. Abeg try find me a sweet mixed Japanese oo. Or is there a website where I can meet them?
Knew a guy whose grandfather was Chinese. His great grandparents migrated from China to one of the colonies which was mostly populated by descendants of African slaves. His grandfather was born in the colony (an 'only child'), and fell in love with a Black girl, but his parents disapproved. They got two kids (girl and boy) but his parents attitudes remained the same. In traditional Chinese fashion he obeyed when his parents sent him gold-mining in the "bush" obviously to separate him from his kids Black mother. He never returned (he apparently died in the bush). His kids mother refused to let her children carry their surnames and changed it from 'Ying' to 'King.' Racism is terrible thing!
I am so glad that the mother changed the surname to King. The two children are just too special to go through the pain that the Chinese ancestors is inflicting on them. I bet if one of the children was as famous as Naomi Osaka, the famous black and Japanese tennis player, all of a sudden the Chinese would want the children recognition as black and Chinese.
They are still like that. Did you notice how she avoided her question about her own experiences, she still isn’t accepted 😡🤬. She is beautiful and special, a gift from God.
I agree that people should be free to love who they want but diversity hinders progress. I understand a society's fight to stay homogeneous, look at what diversity has done to the west. Look at Africa and the ethnic diversity imposed on us by colonial boundaries. Half the time we are fighting each other, same as what is now happening in the west.
Asian people are a people about culture traditions and pride. Someone may break out those customs and be with her if she’s even interested in Japanese men, but that’s like finding a needle in a haystack. And honestly I don’t think it’s because of anything other than it’s now becoming more diverse over there. Give it another 50 years and I’m sure you’ll see more interracial couples or people more open

@@EmpressAshe The truth is we all discriminate, look at what happened to Asians in the west at the peak of Covid, especially Chinese people. They were beaten up and abused everywhere they went, and this happened in the west; mostly in the united States which is supposed to be a "melting pot". Black Americans openly discriminate against indians all the time, liberals discriminate against conservatives and vice versa. White discriminate against black, black even discriminate against light skin black people. Truth is as much as I love interracial relationships and multi cultural societies, I cannot with a sound mind overlook the benefits of a homogeneous society. And if I belonged to one which works as much as the Japanese society does, I would try my possible best to protect it and keep it that way.
lol I’m black and from NYC. I dated a woman from Gifu who was going to school in the US, and this video is absolutely right. She would not bring me around her dad for _anything_ her mom knew and kinda let it happen, but she always said “your dad isn’t gonna like this…” That was about 15 years ago, so who knows how things changed.
I dated a blasian back in high school. Her mom is Philippines and dad was black. Her mom knew about us but when her dad found out he was tripping hard af threatening me😂 So we did like any teens would do, date on the low and pass letters😂 My homies laughed at me afterwards but we stood 10 toes for whatever bs her dad was on.
Hopefully she will catch the best of both worlds, and be a better person for it. Japan is not easy for foreigners... as a white dude living there for a while I certainly gained an interesting perspective on what it means to be a stranger in a strange land.
@@kaasmeester5903 I'd be curious to hear about your experience in Japan. I'm an American that lived in Thailand and have been living in China for the last 9 years.
I think it depends on the country and city where they live. I have two biracial children who my wife and I raised here in Sydney and they did not have any tension relating to their mixed heritage. My daughter is dating an Australian of full Chinese heritage and they are happy.
@@ATLAXTA Even as half white half Japanese woman myself, I knew from when I was younger that I would never date a Japanese man because of the fact that I would never get introduced to their family because they'd think it's shameful.
I have always considered myself very lucky my parents didn't care who I married. Infact my mother actually took quite a liking to my wife (who is Japanese) when they met, passed everything down to her, recepies, family history, priceless heirloom jewelry etc.
Agree, it is asian parents that a very strict. I'm Latino and here my parents love when we date someone from a different ethnicity. They become fascinated with their culture and beliefs. I've dated Asians before and yes their parents are usually kind but prefer their kids to date other Asians. It is what it is
Mixed ppl prob have it hard enough at is. I doubt they want to hear that much outside bs that know Nothing about what it's like. Ppl have their different cultures, facts. It gets more complicated when there's ppl like her. I'm not mixed & I still don't know what to think about ppl. I can see things from many sides. & I've def had my fallen outs. But All I know is to not say something if it's rude. On screen or not. Although I def think black ppl r generally the most aggressive. & Asians r generally the more withdrawn. I guess if it's the bmaf pair, she never has to worry about sleeping on the left side from the door, & shoving him out every time she hears noises, lol. If it's the ambf pair, I guess she'll bring out his masculinity & he brings out her femininity. Although I have seen quiet black & loud Asians. Usually those blacks rnt their stereotypes tho & those Asians r from Cali, lol. Idk, 1 time I knew this Lao female from there & in her head it's like everybody wanted to fight her & she wanted to fight them. U just exist & it was on. And no, I didn't like her. Not bc I couldn't be about it, she was actually tall... tho , but more like I'm not entertaining ur crazy. Go somewhere
My cousin was stationed-lived in Japan. Married a Japanese woman in Japan who followed the entire family and loved on us all on social media, her family loves him, they have 3 boys, he opened a restaurant. JS I’m glad he had a different experience.
This happened to my cousins parents. Her father was Japanese and her mother is a black American. They were in America. His parents did not approve and for the longest time they refused to acknowledge my aunt. They eventually warmed up to my cousin but it was a bit too late because she had embrace her black heritage and never went over to them.
I worked with a Mexican immigrant who was part Japanese. Another Mexican lady I worked with got sick when the doctors evaluated her they told her she had a Japanese ailment. It turned out she had a Japanese grandparent and didn’t know
That makes sense. There was a time when they banned the Japanese from entering the states or they had issues getting in (don’t fully remember, old history lesson). So they went through Mexico and said they were Mexican to get in. Some settled down there. That’s why you have some Mexicans with Asian features.
My grandmother's older brother was stationed in Japan in the 70s, where he met a woman that he fell in love with. They planned to marry, but her family disowned her for wanting to be with a black American. Because of that, she unfortunately took her own life. After her passing, her family sent all of her belongings to my great-grandparents' house in Central Kentucky. I wasn't born until the late 70s but grew up in my great grandparents' house with them. As a child, I always wondered why we had so many Japanese items in the house. I didn't find out why until I was older about why they had those possessions. My grandmother told me that even though my uncle eventually married another woman, his heart belonged to her until his death in 2010. I wish it could have been different for everyone involved.
This is a tragic and sad story. Their daughter's ❤️ belonged to him & she loved him so much that she'd rather die than live WITHOUT him. What a disgrace for them to have sent all her stuff & 1 St of all for a person to feel that is the only way out. Thank God your great grandparents kept the items. That's a show of concern, care and genuinity.
@@ministerkimberlyi agree. It shows that they considered her their "daughter" as in daughter-n-law more than the parents did by keeping the items in remembeance of her and the special place in his heart.

Was this in America? Because if they lived outside of Japan it makes sense they’re probably going to be more open to it since they’re surrounded by people from different cultures everyday. And of course there is variation based on every individual, they’re not a hive mind.
@@OedipusSimplex I am black. Specifically, American of African, European, and Japanese descent. I said they were married in Okinawa. My grandmother is from Kanagawa.
Because some parents are monsters. I’ve not spoken to mine for over 40 years. Their hate isn’t going to be my lifetime consequence. I have amazing adult kids, and have had a REALLY good life that those two clowns missed out on. My siblings, however, have not had it easy. They were more concerned with approval from parents vs freedom. Bummer.
At later stages in life, people get more concerned about staying "safe" with what they know and try to avoid taking risks, combined with the "protective" instinct of parenting, they tend to get paranoid and reject many decisions made by children. This is the main reason anyway, aside from the fewer parents that are jealous of their kids or envy or even hate them.
Ppl back then were socially more primitive. They didn’t tolerate different cultures as much. Most countries still don’t and even some places in America
Very true i had a japanese cheerleader and her dad was avery strict and her mom was more welcoming once they met me they allowed her to cheer and realized i supported all of the kids and she was allowed to hang out with my daughter she opened up became less shy her mom has a whole new friend circle and started learning english too❤ like her mom thabked me bc i welcomed the entire family with open arms and they never really had that experience. We live in a predominantly white community im african american and i was the first black coach this school has had and i changed a bunch in 2 yrs brought community and family back into the sports
The Japanese are a strong people that still haven’t lost their cultural identity. Hopefully the tiny hats don’t ruin one of the few homogeneous societies left with unrelenting mass migration and race-mixing propaganda like they have in the west🙏
You're so beautiful and one day the right person will give you what you want and need. And hopefully your parents will be accepting of whoever you choose, not like your grands would have been.
White - accept, Italian- probably accept, close to white, Indian- no, even if he has lighter skin... same with Indians, they will accept a white daughter in law than japanese/ chinese/ black daughter in law or son in law
Not if they're white and/or wealthy. They are at least partially driven by social status, and black people to them are a symbol of poverty, degenerates, and failure because of the media's portrayal of us.
Hey! I was studying abroad in Japan in 1996 and lived there 1999 - 2006. There were black people there… even a couple Jamaican restaurants in Tokyo too. The Nigerian guys were still working in Kabukicho then as well. I’m not saying that the number hasn’t significantly increased in recent years, just that there were black people in Japan back then… hell a data center company I worked for had three of us! Family… actually my wife’s family loves me. Her father was opposed at first, but actually her grandmother (his mother) supported us dating and now.. when we visit every summer, I’m his drinking buddy. The rest of the family and extended family I get along with famously.
Exactly. I had to disagree when Marintia said, "back then, there were no black people in Japan." In the early 80s, there was a popular African restaurant bulging at the seams night after night, all staffed by people from the African continent. Remember several of them saying how much they loved Japan, wanting to stay. There was also an African American friend who busked five nights a week at Shinjuku station, working by day as an English teacher. Millions passed through Shinjuku station and no doubt many have seen him. He stayed in Japan more than 20 years until he passed. Then there's military bases, so it wasn't as if there were no black people in Japan.
My cousins are Japanese and black. Thankfully they grew up on California without prejudice. I have twin sisters that are half Korean and I never got to meet them but know that they faced difficulties growing up in Korea
In 2004 a Japanese male friend said this definitely. His family wanted him to *ONLY* marry Japanese, no matter if Aisan, only Japanese. Her rationale was "traceable family lineage"...🥴
@tigerlilly9038, There are over 20,000 Kamon (family crests, similar to European heraldry) in Japan traditionally used by the ruling families and nobility. They are a way to trace Japanese families’ bloodlines and lineage back to antiquity. So they are a big deal in Japanese culture. That is who they are, an island nation. What other island nation utilities pedigree and heraldry? Great Britain of course. They have their precious peerage log books, a veritable who’s who and who slept with or loved whom.
The Chinese are more open, and accepting. Japan is not diverse at all. They don’t usually marry outside of their nationality, not even to other Asians.
I am a black South African man. I got married to a Chinese. I wás well received. Have two children. Unfortunately divorced. Te n years later, I'm still single. The children are 15 and 17 living with their Mom in South Africa. I do see them once in a while.

Are you white by any chance? Not to be rude or anything just asking for clarification on your situation. Because East Asian culture seems to find dating and marrying white Europeans and Americans acceptable but have a massive issue with Africans and African Americans dating/marrying people from their culture. It’s clear see this woman’s parents hid their relationship to the point they waited for the father of mother to die before trying to be an open couple and even still got disapproval. THEY’RE GROWN ADULTS HIDING LIKE TEENAGERS! So if you’re white then that explains why they were “fine” with it unfortunately….
It’s so sad how many people still choose to live that way hating simply based off skin color instead of actual personality; she is such a genuinely beautiful person, inside and out.
Humans have been that way forever, nothing's going to change anytime soon. Also you have no idea what kind of a person she is, she could be raging maniac in real life🤷
Africans just have a terrible reputation in Japan more so than other foreigners. Foreigners already are seen as lacking Japanese manners and doing things to Japanese women in particular (US military personnel leaving Japanese families after service is widespread). Africans throughout the country are associated with this along with crime and abuse. Famously an African-Japanese TV personality brutally beat his wife before leaving the country.
I am glad your parents followed the call of love and got together to create you. You are absolutely gorgeous and beautiful! 💜 Keep being yourself and follow you heart! Much Love & Light, and Jah bless! ❤️💛💚
I learned from my japanese friends that it is a culture thing. The older japanese family members do not want their children or grandchildren marrying anyone who is not japanese. It isn't just black people,it is also with white people and spanish people angling with other oriental people that are not japanese.
I can relate! I was born in 1954 in Tokyo to a Japanese mother and my father was Mulato born in North Carolina. I was also disapproved of. You can imagine how much worse it was that far back. I’ll spare you the details other than the fact that my mother was already disapproved of because she was adopted by stoic parents who mistreated her simply because she was an orphan. She was literally treated like Cinderella during the war. So she was already shunned by society when she met my dad. Then my dad left her there, pregnant to deal with me alone until I was three. But he did return to marry her. But it was far from a “happily ever after” kind of story!
I was also born with a foreign name of Haremi Shinoi! The Japanese say their surname first so it’s really: Shinoi, Haremi. But when my father returned he renamed me, Haremi Jeanmarie Watts. I, later renamed myself; Jeannemarie Watts with the French pronunciation because everyone kept separating my middle name into two words, which irritated me to no end! My name is NOT “Jean”!
It’s hard to be mixed, especially with an ethnicity that is racist to your other ethnicity. You feel like you are unwelcome by both because one discriminates against you and the other sees you as a more part of the discriminators and not one of them. So you become ethnically orphaned and this is quite painful. She’s beautiful and she should be more appreciated and she should be seen as the incredible blend of two unique cultures that she is. Unfortunately the world we live in is not capable of this kind of thinking and are too small minded to see.
My godmother, who raised me was Japanese, born in 1928. When she met and married my godfather, who was black, in 1960, she was totally disowned by her family. When they relocated to the United States in 1964, she never saw her family again. She passed away in 2008 at the age of 80 years old Still craving the embrace of her Japanese family. Even though she experienced the racism herself, she still had some racist ideologies herself. And for anyone curious, I am 100% black.
The fact that she has never had that experience IS that experience.
What?
@@SpikeTheWolfthey mean that no Japanese man is interested in her because she is black.
Amen.
@@SpikeTheWolf she's never had the experience of someone not wanting to introduce her to their family out of fear of disapproval. She goes on to say she doesn't feel she is the average Japanese person's type. The average Japanese person would avoid dating her to begin with out of fear of their family's disapproval. That is What makes it the experience.

A friend of mine married a Japanese person about 15 years ago. My friend is African. Only one of the Japanese person's family knew and attended the wedding. Many children later, they've finally let the parents and extended family know that their in-law is African! This is not a thing of the past, it still persists in Japan. I de-personalised this comment out of respect for my friend and their lovely spouse.
How sad that because of skin colour the parents cannot know/meet their in-law for many years. Have they met in person and the kids?
Black people are HATED all over the world for no other reason than the color of their skin. And to think, no one on this earth chose their color of their skin...not even the racists.

Some people choose that, like I don't really want my last name to go when I marry@@nathanmerritt1581
@@nathanmerritt1581 I believe you misunderstood her. She implied that she in fact does use her father's name. When she started her sentence with "my birth name is" one could assume she doesn't use it, because you would just simply state your name otherwise. Also, it is not uncommon when one has interracial or even foreign born parents with a different language, to have a name in more than one languages. Only one is generally legal, whilst the other is familial/traditional.

"Why Japanese In-Laws Disapprove of Foreigners"
Lmao we can all read the title of the video it’s the fact that SHE in the video didn’t need to specify whether it was maternal or paternal. Maybe the interviewer asked specifically but we don’t know, plus in my experience as a Blasian child and hearing stories n family drama it was also my asian grandparents that had a problem.

My dearest people of the world. I'm Yoruba from Nigeria, and I can say from the heart, that our Ghanaian brothers and sisters, are some of the kindest, wonderful and beautiful people in the world.
In regards to composure, poise and temperament, I can't think of a more compatible coupling than between Ghanaians and Japanese.
Much love and respect. Love is a beautiful thing.
It doesn't matter to most Japanese people of that generation. If you were not Japanese they wouldn't like it. I have Japanese cousins and they are part black and it's the same thing when they were young. The difference is the father was Japanese and the mother was Black American and they went through it. To be honest there have only been maybe 25 Africans that went to Japan before WW2, so it's not surprising.
I hate to see when my people loudly proclaim/try to prove that they are "good enough" for persons of other races and ethnicities. A Ghanaian person doesn't have to be exceptional to be accepted as a human being worthy of respect. Black people more often than not try to judge people based on who they are rather than their appearance but other races seldom grant us that courtesy. I really want black people to stop having to prove that we are "one of the good ones" when no other race has to.
That means that she has mot been courted by a Jaoanese young man.
You have a point, men from Ghana are just calm and traditional, and women from Japan are lowly and respectful. Quite suited I think.
Yes 💯 i have coworker from ghana 🇬🇭
my ex is Japanese and Black and her dad can’t go back to Japan because his family disowned him for marrying a Black woman. it’s actually kinda crazy how he gets family news.. like he didn’t know his dad died til like 3 years later
Good. Id be upset if my daughter married a black man too😂
That's extremely sad.
Very sad
He obviously was okay with leaving that repressive family culture. Who throws away their children because they marry interculturally? If you truly love your child then act like it. However, I could understand if the Japanese parents met the woman and found out she was shady or a gold digger. Character is important. But that wasn’t the case. That’s why Japan is an aging and dying culture. They are ethnocentric and closed off.

@@Coronet_shopI Dont know this person,and i know that black people ,as with anyone else,can be super welcomint,so maybe their black grandparents were tolerant of the relationship. But idk. As an African, as a black person, I know that sometimes we too can also be very prejudiced . If there is conflict within countries about marrying even within your group, how much more when you marey outside of it? From what iv observed around me, a lot of african parents can be resustant towards the idea of their chilren marrying non black people. Then again, perhaps this person's experience was different. I hope so 🥲
We went through the same thing in 2012. My husband is russian and I'm american...his family, despite living in America, HATED the idea of their son dating or marrying an America (or any of their family really). So he hid it from them for nearly 8 months. Even once we were married, his mother tried getting him to leave me multiple times and tried setting him up with different Russian girls from his church. They HATED me for years, his whole family minus maybe 10 of them and it wasn't until his sister married a jack ass russian man that his mother changed her tune. She hugged me for the first time 2 years ago (we've been married 9 years, together for 12) and said she loved me for the first time last year. I have never disrespected them, never challenged them, never been rude or mean, never dared raise my voice with them, and tried for years to get them to like me. Finally, after about 6 or 7 years being married, and his sisters saying I wasn't trying hard enough, I told my husband I was done being around them only to be insulted behind my back (or to my face in Russian). He agreed, cussed his sisters out, told his parents they either got their shit together or they'd never see us again, and then blocked them for 2 months to let's it settle and they finally backed off

Marintia, you are so beautiful, full of love, grace and confident. I bet there is hardly anyone over there who can compete against you. Keep your head high. We are proud of you.
People don’t realize how much race plays apart in every aspect of life on earth which is crazy since we are all humans. And being black or of African descent really troubles a lot of people out of fear and ignorance. Which is crazy because when it comes to culture we are the most accepting people.
Edit: Speaking strictly for blacks in America we are too accepting. I don’t know anything about how they run their culture in Africa. But I stand by what I say about people hating blacks everywhere whether you are from Africa or Iceland this skin bothers people for no reason.
But when they do take African or Any African descent , they don’t want to go back thier own Race, pretty sad
We should change that too. we are too accepting.
We are all equal,sickness or death does not discriminate. When sickness or death comes tell them I am white, or Japanese, or Royal,or rich etc.That is the only thing that makes us equal.
I've known a number of people from African countries, mostly West Africa, and they were all kind, polite, and beautifully eager to share their culture. 💖 If I ever have the money, I want to visit Nigeria at minimum. From what I've heard and watched, it's wonderful, especially the green rural areas. (FTR, I'm a pasty American Jew. I grew up semi-rural, and I still love the quiet of being away from cities, though I do want to visit Lagos and the FCT.)
Say that again! That’s mainly because historically we know what it feels like to be treated as an outcast! So we embrace difference!
Just think about the fact she is 24 and let´s say their parents meet 30 years ago. So that was 1994!
Things have changed a lot in Japan during that time.

So, these parents see firsthand that their child is just like any other child.

Knew a guy whose grandfather was Chinese. His great grandparents migrated from China to one of the colonies which was mostly populated by descendants of African slaves. His grandfather was born in the colony (an 'only child'), and fell in love with a Black girl, but his parents disapproved. They got two kids (girl and boy) but his parents attitudes remained the same. In traditional Chinese fashion he obeyed when his parents sent him gold-mining in the "bush" obviously to separate him from his kids Black mother. He never returned (he apparently died in the bush). His kids mother refused to let her children carry their surnames and changed it from 'Ying' to 'King.'
Racism is terrible thing!
I am so glad that the mother changed the surname to King. The two children are just too special to go through the pain that the Chinese ancestors is inflicting on them. I bet if one of the children was as famous as Naomi Osaka, the famous black and Japanese tennis player, all of a sudden the Chinese would want the children recognition as black and Chinese.

I agree that people should be free to love who they want but diversity hinders progress. I understand a society's fight to stay homogeneous, look at what diversity has done to the west. Look at Africa and the ethnic diversity imposed on us by colonial boundaries. Half the time we are fighting each other, same as what is now happening in the west.
Asian people are a people about culture traditions and pride. Someone may break out those customs and be with her if she’s even interested in Japanese men, but that’s like finding a needle in a haystack. And honestly I don’t think it’s because of anything other than it’s now becoming more diverse over there. Give it another 50 years and I’m sure you’ll see more interracial couples or people more open

My grandmother's older brother was stationed in Japan in the 70s, where he met a woman that he fell in love with. They planned to marry, but her family disowned her for wanting to be with a black American. Because of that, she unfortunately took her own life. After her passing, her family sent all of her belongings to my great-grandparents' house in Central Kentucky. I wasn't born until the late 70s but grew up in my great grandparents' house with them. As a child, I always wondered why we had so many Japanese items in the house. I didn't find out why until I was older about why they had those possessions. My grandmother told me that even though my uncle eventually married another woman, his heart belonged to her until his death in 2010. I wish it could have been different for everyone involved.

This is a tragic and sad story. Their daughter's ❤️ belonged to him & she loved him so much that she'd rather die than live WITHOUT him. What a disgrace for them to have sent all her stuff & 1 St of all for a person to feel that is the only way out.

I am Papua New Guinea British ( tan blonde brown afro big smile) living in Australia .my British Dad. Didn't stay with my beautiful mum.. she was a air hostess in PNG. He went on married a Japanese women and lives there. I met him at 25 . When his Japanese wife found out he had a half afro islander child they broke up ( I was born before she married him . My Japanese sis n bro were 15 and 10 at the time . Sis accepted me bro turned his head away... Stigma racism is real...
That’s gross but they would have done it if it was a Chinese or Korean person. So don’t feel bad. AND many white folk too. But overall, most are not racist, just ignorant.

@@dbig48d Literally wrong. The 'foreigner hoping to be accepted by the rest of a family' is a very common story throughout history, throughout the world.

My grandmother is Japanese and my grandfather is African American. Her family was largely supportive, and that was almost 80 years ago.
According to you. 80 years ago? Highly doubtful since there's still issues today
Was this in America? Because if they lived outside of Japan it makes sense they’re probably going to be more open to it since they’re surrounded by people from different cultures everyday. And of course there is variation based on every individual, they’re not a hive mind.

This is so sad. Why wouldn't any parent simply be happy their child has found someone to share life with.
Because some parents are monsters. I’ve not spoken to mine for over 40 years. Their hate isn’t going to be my lifetime consequence. I have amazing adult kids, and have had a REALLY good life that those two clowns missed out on. My siblings, however, have not had it easy. They were more concerned with approval from parents vs freedom. Bummer.
Different time mate. They used to make kids so they had farm workers. Happiness was not a factor, survival was.
@@elib7311
Lol
Bloodline matters
At later stages in life, people get more concerned about staying "safe" with what they know and try to avoid taking risks, combined with the "protective" instinct of parenting, they tend to get paranoid and reject many decisions made by children. This is the main reason anyway, aside from the fewer parents that are jealous of their kids or envy or even hate them.
Ppl back then were socially more primitive. They didn’t tolerate different cultures as much. Most countries still don’t and even some places in America
This had me at the edge of my seat 🎉
She's a BEAUTIFUL combination of BOTH PARENTS!!!!
Very true i had a japanese cheerleader and her dad was avery strict and her mom was more welcoming once they met me they allowed her to cheer and realized i supported all of the kids and she was allowed to hang out with my daughter she opened up became less shy her mom has a whole new friend circle and started learning english too❤ like her mom thabked me bc i welcomed the entire family with open arms and they never really had that experience.

You're so beautiful and one day the right person will give you what you want and need. And hopefully your parents will be accepting of whoever you choose, not like your grands would have been.
Would the grandparents disapprove if the man was white, Indian, Italian etc?
White - accept, Italian- probably accept, close to white, Indian- no, even if he has lighter skin... same with Indians, they will accept a white daughter in law than japanese/ chinese/ black daughter in law or son in law
yes
Nope!!
No especially if rich
Not if they're white and/or wealthy. They are at least partially driven by social status, and black people to them are a symbol of poverty, degenerates, and failure because of the media's portrayal of us.
Hey! I was studying abroad in Japan in 1996 and lived there 1999 - 2006. There were black people there… even a couple Jamaican restaurants in Tokyo too. The Nigerian guys were still working in Kabukicho then as well. I’m not saying that the number hasn’t significantly increased in recent years, just that there were black people in Japan back then… hell a data center company I worked for had three of us!
Family… actually my wife’s family loves me. Her father was opposed at first, but actually her grandmother (his mother) supported us dating and now.. when we visit every summer, I’m his drinking buddy. The rest of the family and extended family I get along with famously.
Exactly. I had to disagree when Marintia said, "back then, there were no black people in Japan." In the early 80s, there was a popular African restaurant bulging at the seams night after night, all staffed by people from the African continent. Remember several of them saying how much they loved Japan, wanting to stay. There was also an African American friend who busked five nights a week at Shinjuku station, working by day as an English teacher. Millions passed through Shinjuku station and no doubt many have seen him. He stayed in Japan more than 20 years until he passed. Then there's military bases, so it wasn't as if there were no black people in Japan.
Yes a few stayed after WW2
It depends on where in Japan.

@@RAPSNINOyeah preserving your people and culture is so bad and ignorant 🤡
@tigerlilly9038, There are over 20,000 Kamon (family crests, similar to European heraldry) in Japan traditionally used by the ruling families and nobility. They are a way to trace Japanese families’ bloodlines and lineage back to antiquity. So they are a big deal in Japanese culture. That is who they are, an island nation. What other island nation utilities pedigree and heraldry? Great Britain of course. They have their precious peerage log books, a veritable who’s who and who slept with or loved whom.

Are you white by any chance?
Not to be rude or anything just asking for clarification on your situation. Because East Asian culture seems to find dating and marrying white Europeans and Americans acceptable but have a massive issue with Africans and African Americans dating/marrying people from their culture. It’s clear see this woman’s parents hid their relationship to the point they waited for the father of mother to die before trying to be an open couple and even still got disapproval. THEY’RE GROWN ADULTS HIDING LIKE TEENAGERS! So if you’re white then that explains why they were “fine” with it unfortunately….
Is he white? That usually helps... they're less racist towards white people.
Well, the ethnicity of a foreigner usually factors into how accepting people are

Africans just have a terrible reputation in Japan more so than other foreigners. Foreigners already are seen as lacking Japanese manners and doing things to Japanese women in particular (US military personnel leaving Japanese families after service is widespread). Africans throughout the country are associated with this along with crime and abuse. Famously an African-Japanese TV personality brutally beat his wife before leaving the country.
Beautiful lady. Wishing her luck and happiness in the future

I learned from my japanese friends that it is a culture thing. The older japanese family members do not want their children or grandchildren marrying anyone who is not japanese. It isn't just black people,it is also with white people and spanish people angling with other oriental people that are not japanese.
Grandma disappeared until she saw her grandbaby 😂
She's beautiful
No she isn't. Stop simping. Plus she doesn't look Japanese at all.
I can relate! I was born in 1954 in Tokyo to a Japanese mother and my father was Mulato born in North Carolina. I was also disapproved of. You can imagine how much worse it was that far back. I’ll spare you the details other than the fact that my mother was already disapproved of because she was adopted by stoic parents who mistreated her simply because she was an orphan. She was literally treated like Cinderella during the war. So she was already shunned by society when she met my dad. Then my dad left her there, pregnant to deal with me alone until I was three. But he did return to marry her. But it was far from a “happily ever after” kind of story!
I was also born with a foreign name of Haremi Shinoi! The Japanese say their surname first so it’s really: Shinoi, Haremi. But when my father returned he renamed me, Haremi Jeanmarie Watts. I, later renamed myself; Jeannemarie Watts with the French pronunciation because everyone kept separating my middle name into two words, which irritated me to no end! My name is NOT “Jean”!
Your dad is a good man. He knew not to abandon you there like that. In situations like that you need both parents
And they call Africans uncivilized, i think the rest of the continents are. Africans always open to every culture.

Prejudice is prejudice. It always has been and always will be.
Exactly!
Like the stuff black people have for whites that isn't excused at all.
How is it prejudice? Seems like a family that wants to preserve their heritage and cultural identity
It’s hard to be mixed, especially with an ethnicity that is racist to your other ethnicity. You feel like you are unwelcome by both because one discriminates against you and the other sees you as a more part of the discriminators and not one of them. So you become ethnically orphaned and this is quite painful. She’s beautiful and she should be more appreciated and she should be seen as the incredible blend of two unique cultures that she is. Unfortunately the world we live in is not capable of this kind of thinking and are too small minded to see.
My godmother, who raised me was Japanese, born in 1928. When she met and married my godfather, who was black, in 1960, she was totally disowned by her family. When they relocated to the United States in 1964, she never saw her family again. She passed away in 2008 at the age of 80 years old Still craving the embrace of her Japanese family. Even though she experienced the racism herself, she still had some racist ideologies herself. And for anyone curious, I am 100% black.
She says “back then”, but she is young so not so long ago. There was no reason to hate/disapprove. What a waste of time/life on their part!
