A while back, some white teenager was pretending to be a Japanese man and posted constantly about hating white people and dubious cases of "cultural appropriation" and had a massive following and was a even a mod on a popular social justice blog about Asian issues, despite all Japanese they ever used on their blog being straight google translate. They got away with this for months because people don't bother to fact check anything, especially if it comes from someone even claiming to be a "POC".

So I don't know why any of you are surprised about this Russia thing. A 14 year old white kid could do it, so people specifically trained to spread misinformation can definitely do it. And it's going to happen again.

“as someone who looks Japanese/East Asian and has visited Japan 4 times in the last 15 months, I can tell you that almost everyone (including some tourists) expect/s me to speak Japanese and are often befuddled when I’m stammering around trying to figure out a cohesive sentence lmao. If I had the time and the resources to dedicate to learning the language, I would. If you’re not East Asian appearing, you will probably have a slightly different experience“

Don’t you love when they pretend they never said things that there’s clear documentation of to try and invalidate POC/minorities in Japan’s experiences?

I guess thisisnotjapan came up with a new tag to justify their anti-black racism http://thisisnotjapan.tumblr.com/tagged/intra-poc-racism

Black people can’t be racist against their oppressors... Black people can’t culturally appropriate from their oppressors...

*pretends like they’re only against whites but actually not-even-lowkey against all non-Japanese POC*
