The Miss Japan beauty pageant in 2024 was particularly special. The crown went to 26-year-old Shiino Karolina from Ukraine. She arrived in Japan at the age of five and speaks fluent Japanese. During the competition, she mentioned feeling unaccepted due to racial issues in the past. However, now she is thrilled to be crowned Miss Japan.

Shiino Karolina's victory sparked discussions. Some argued that she doesn't represent Japanese tradition as she is not a native Japanese. However, Shiino Karolina believes she is a true Japanese.

On the other hand, in the football arena, 21-year-old Japanese goalkeeper Ayane Suzuki faced criticism after a match loss. Suzuki, a mixed-race of Ghanaian and Japanese descent, encountered racial discrimination due to his foreign heritage. The Japan Football Association strongly opposed such behavior and condemned it.

Another example is 26-year-old Hoshi Watanabe. Born in Pakistan, he has lived in Japan since the age of seven and is also a Japanese national. However, Hoshi Watanabe is frequently questioned by the police due to his foreign appearance, as he doesn't resemble the traditional Japanese look. Feeling it unfair, he eventually decided to take legal action.

Foreigners living in Japan often feel not fully accepted. According to a survey, many foreigners encounter difficulties in Japan. For example, they face rejection when seeking employment or renting a house simply because they are not Japanese. Some restaurants even do not welcome foreign guests. The Japanese government is striving to improve this situation. They aim to make Japan a more diverse and inclusive society. However, this requires time and collective effort.

The Miss Japan beauty pageant in 2024 was particularly special. The crown went to 26-year-old Shiino Karolina from Ukraine. She arrived in Japan at the age of five and speaks fluent Japanese. During the competition, she mentioned feeling unaccepted due to racial issues in the past. However, now she is thrilled to be crowned Miss Japan.

Shiino Karolina's victory sparked discussions. Some argued that she doesn't represent Japanese tradition as she is not a native Japanese. However, Shiino Karolina believes she is a true Japanese.

On the other hand, in the football arena, 21-year-old Japanese goalkeeper Ayane Suzuki faced criticism after a match loss. Suzuki, a mixed-race of Ghanaian and Japanese descent, encountered racial discrimination due to his foreign heritage. The Japan Football Association strongly opposed such behavior and condemned it.

Another example is 26-year-old Hoshi Watanabe. Born in Pakistan, he has lived in Japan since the age of seven and is also a Japanese national. However, Hoshi Watanabe is frequently questioned by the police due to his foreign appearance, as he doesn't resemble the traditional Japanese look. Feeling it unfair, he eventually decided to take legal action.

Foreigners living in Japan often feel not fully accepted. According to a survey, many foreigners encounter difficulties in Japan. For example, they face rejection when seeking employment or renting a house simply because they are not Japanese. Some restaurants even do not welcome foreign guests. The Japanese government is striving to improve this situation. They aim to make Japan a more diverse and inclusive society. However, this requires time and collective effort.
