>>58452047I’m starting to realize more and more that some Japanese’s people just think Jacinthe is some kinda yamanba (most extreme tanned gyaru that typically has a VERY SPECIFIC fashion and makeup style) instead of a Black person. Only the more overtly racist Japanese commenters use the term ‘black’, in order to complain about Jacinthe/political correctness. A bunch of other tweets keep saying ‘tanned’, or generically say ‘dark’. They seriously just think she’s tan. There is no racial-sensitivity based taboo against painting your skin really dark in Japan, so that cosplayer is more than likely innocently considering doing blackface right now.
