My thought about Ariana Miyamoto who won miss universe Japan in 2015.

At first, I did not know about Ariana Miyamoto. Because Japanese mass media did not report her. So I investigated about her and I found that she is a winner of miss universe Japan in 2015. Through investigation about her, I have some opinion about her. So in this blog post I would like to write my opinion about her.


I have three opinions.


First, I think that Ariana Miyamoto is not fit for miss universe Japan, because she is not pure Japanese person. Of course I do not want to discriminate against not pure Japanese people in Japan. However people who are chosen miss universe is representation of their country, so I think that they should represent their country’s features. Some people says that it is not good to complain about her and Japan should be more flexible about race, so distinguish pure Japanese from other people is a silly and Japan should become international. I think the idea of discrimination is bad, but I also think this Ariana’s case is different from the problem of discrimination. I think that miss universe should be a place which collect each country’s culture, so I feel Ariana is not fit the miss universe Japan.


Second, I think that Miyamoto’s opinion about discrimination in Japan is not correct. She says that there are a lot of discrimination about races in Japan. She also says that she was teased by her classmates, because she is half Japanese. Her opinion sounds like all Japanese people do discrimination to me. I have a friend who is half Japanese but he is not teased, because he is a good person. From my example, I think that the race is not the reason for teasing rather it depends on their action and not all Japanese people do discrimination. Therefore I think that Ariana Miyamoto’s opinion necessarily true.


Third, Japanese people should not demand being perfect for representative like Ariana Miyamoto. I feel that Japanese people often tend to demand being perfect for their representative. Of course it is natural this action, but I think Japanese people overreact to scandal. For example, when I researched about Ariana Miyamoto, I found a lot of article about her bad act when she was young. I do not know whether it is true or not, but I think that we should pay attention to rather what she is doing than what she did.

That's all, thank you for reading.
