Skin color is not a big issue in Japan. Buzzing about this problem while Naomi doesn't care on her own sounds like they, people in such a culture, are trying to force her aware that she is on the discriminated side in terms of skin color.

Some people of all races are too ignorant to acknowledge MIXED! Grow up! It's 2019!

Congratulations

Really ... Nissin, it was your intention and you did it, the problem is you got caught ... Really ...

Possibly the best kind of example of inherent racism, and not from the Aryan nation, but our friends in the far East. Racism is not exclusive: humans have been killing off other groups of humans for millenia. Can we rise above?

Its done ALL the time

How is this “acknowledging” it? “We never had the intention to do what is known as ‘whitewashing,’ a Nissin spokesman told the Japan Times.”

Nissin artists: I guess she doesn't really fit the Anime stereotype huh?

pathetic

Racism is simply a fact. We either acknowledge it or not.

Thankfully race mixing is normal in the West. Japan must be a racist Hellhole. A high advanced, incredible safe and cultured country but so bloody racist ohmahgawd.

The Japanese are racist You dont say! A country with zero diversity cant possibly be racist!

She is black. She is Japanese. There is no white. Stop it.
