#sorry i just. cant not think of this post when thinking about this phenomenon#how do you even. I just. I mean. like. how#it’s just such an extreme example I don’t even know what about this dude and this image can be possibly perceived as white#like of all things to say that about. kiryu kazuma. from the fucking Yakuza franchise. yakuza. the yakuza franchise. the. how#I get people mistaking ichi for being non-japanese multiracial or latino more or less#but kiryu????#is it because he doesn’t have the most ivory skin and mono lidded eyes possible??#or cause his hair is dark brown instead of black?? do people not know that japanese people can look. not like. a complete stereotype.#cause that’s my guess honestly#white people (namely Americans) will see an East Asian person with tan skin and short circuit not knowing how that’s Possible#anyway. sorry this post is wild to me and I wish it wasn’t funny but it kind of is. in a sad way
