They were wearing blond wigs (not at all offensive) and fake big noses (really, super-offensive)!

Sorry, I should have put some more text in there. What I meant from that post was: "show this to a Japanese. Ask them for their reaction". If they get offended, just nod and say, "now you know how I feel".hanabi wrote:Okay, first of all, that "good for the goose" crap just doesn't fly right now considering that the poster is war propaganda and was created during a time of severe tension between the two countries

Okay, here's my 2 cents: I wouldn't even be in Japan if I hadn't married a Japanese in the U.S., so if I hadn't met my wife I'd probably still be dating (or married to) my previous girlfriend (who was white).GomiGirl wrote:What is wrong with us white chicks? Do you know how difficult is it for a cute young thang like me to get a date on a saturday night in Tokyo???

GomiGirl wrote:A common misconception my friend!! I cannot speak for other chicks here but I for one definitely "give it up"!! I am so NOT looking for a relationship, just a bonk every now and then would be great!! Plus I am fantastic!!! The term "maguro" is not one that is EVER applied to this little black duck.![]()
So that leaves little ol' me in a sad state... what does a girl have to do???
What would that be? Easy living? I came here to make money ( yeah, go ahead andkamome wrote:plus, many guys who come to Japan have a particular "itch" that only Japanese girls can scratch, if you know what I mean.

You so don't get it, guy-who-lives-in-Chicago. You are not included in this large nose=affluence deal because you are not Japanese. You are "other." And "others" are freaks. Your big nose is a source of comedy and your skin is a constant reminder that you do not belong.

Dating or being married to a Japanese woman doesn't mean you don't like, or are bashing non-Japanese women. It just might mean you're in love with a woman who happens to be Japanese.

I am completely fine with interracial dating and, as I said in my previous post, I'm not competing for attention. So please don't make the wrong assumptions and I'll remember to do you the same courtesy.
I hope to meet some of you sometime - just as friends -
kamome wrote:What's with that? "Just as friends"? You're already putting a limitation on our possibilities before we even meet? That's so unfair.See, THAT's why we gaijin guys go for the J-chicks. We can set our hopes high from the get-go with them.
