The Japanese would never accept her.
Because her father is Haitian? I know they can be pretty racist towards other races, so I would agree there would be some of that.
I worked for a guy who in a previous job had worked for years in Japan, was fluent in the language and understood the culture pretty well.
He went to a Japanese professional baseball game, and sitting in the stands right behind him were two Japanese men who were saying really rude things about him as if he wasn’t even there.
He was what I think would be a typical “Gaijin” in the Japanese culture, big guy with bright blue eyes and black hair.
He concluded they were speaking that way because they assumed he didn’t know Japanese, and he turned to face them and said in fluent, unaccented Japanese in his politest voice:
I am sorry my presence here is causing you so much difficulty. I would be more than happy to find another seat so you can better enjoy the game.”
He said they were so ashamed and horrified that they instantly got up and left!
Lost all respect for Osaka when she jumped on the BLM bandwagon and criticized the US as racist. She would never be accepted by the Japanese and yet here she is in the US taking advantage of all our country offers then turns around and rips us. I was so happy to see her beaten at The Open.
I know she's just a tennis player whose life revolves around the court, but maybe she should learn to be quiet about what she doesn't know.
