I don't think they have disadvantages - Jealousy! - Yeah others are often jealous!

Hi guys and girls on Ask Japanese it's CathyCat

Hafu is a term used for people here in Japan who are half Japanese and

whose other parent is from a different culture

well this is a topic we have brought up before many Japanese people say

they envy "Hafu" without actually thinking about the negative effects that it might have

and what kind of things people who are half Japanese might be struggling with in Japan this time

we're gonna go hit the streets of Tokyo and find out

what Japanese boys envy about people who are half Japanese and

what they don't. Let's see what critical opinions we might be getting and ask Japanese

Do you admire people who are half Japanese?

I personally don't admire them but they are so tall

and I envy that. - You are pretty tall boy.

He is already really tall. - I am 180 - I really admire half Japanese

people! - What exactly? - They have really defined

I try to wear colored contacts to look more like them. - I admire them.

They look so stylish. Their faces are totally different from ours right?

What ideal are you thinking of? - I personally

like half- Japanese half American. I like it buff. - You like strong

looking Americans? - Yes that is so cool. I think black people are the coolest.

I love people with black skin. - Europeans.

You said you admire how tall some are. What is your ideal?

I wish I had that. - You are 180! - You are tall already

What? - I want a little more. The taller you are

the better clothes will look. - If you have any friends

think what advantages they might have in Japan

and what hardships? - An advantage is that their eye color is different

I think they are easier to remember with that trademark

Disadvantages... people might be prejudiced and treat them

like foreigners. I am not like that. I want to speak with them more. Half Japanese are cool

I don't think they have many hardships... - Jealousy!

True, people might get jealous of them. - Like how

do you think? - Because they are taller than most...

other will admire that and - Envy them for it.

You already stand out of the crowd being half Japanese

if you see them have a girlfriend you envy that. - They are more unique than others

if they envy half Japanese. - Totally. I wish I was half Japanese.

They can wear whatever clothes they want. They're so slender.

Their long legs and tall noses and deep features.

I have black hair and look I have a very Japanese face but

I with I had the right opposite face, I wish I was cuter.

You wish you had a different face? - Well

Half Japanese have different colored eyes right

But if I was half Japanese I would also have another half

and that would be cute - You keep saying that

but what other country do you want to be from?

Something European like French or Italian.

I admire that. - I think somewhere in Europe too

You said foreigners have long legs, but yours are longer than this European's legs. - Nono

Your legs are longer than mine! - Its a tallness thing.

Let's keep it at that. - Now think please

what struggles and perks do half Japanese have in Japan

I heard from a friend who was half Japanese that

she struggled with people saying things like "you're half Japanese. Your dad is foreign"

and she struggled with that. Her advantage was that

everyone admired her. Because she was different she became the center of attention

I think there are good and bad sides. - Good sides

might be that half Japanese are so cool. Not just Japanese but

they are a little bit different. I think that's good.

Apart from that... because they have mixed heritage

some Japanese might only see the non-Japanese half of them

and focus on that too much. Like "You can speak that language right"

Do you think they won't be accepted as Japanese? - If they look too different

maybe. If they look Japanese that might not be

if they look foreign, people will treat them more like foreigners. Like for half US kids

"you speak English right? You eat burgers all the time!" things like that. - Stereotypes

what did your friend struggle with? - She was my junior

from her other country, and had to practice it several times a day.

Because the had to do this, it would set her apart from everyone else

She had to follow the customs of both countries but in the eyes

of Japanese that was too much. Others only knew how to live in Japan

and they wouldn't understand her for differences. - Also in sports

there is lots of discrimination. The half African kids were faster runners

people said "you only won because you're half African" when they won a game.

They blamed their loss on the heritage of the half Japanese students

I thought that was wrong. - Those students did their best! - They did!

that's why they won. People would say "Their heritage is too strong we can't win against that."

I think Japanese should stop thinking like that. - You think that's jealousy?

They make excuses for themselves if they loose to Half Japanese students.

I don't envy half Japanese. - I do. - Why so. - They have big eyes

I envy that. - The eye color? - Blue and green and such.....

Oh you picked up on that, thank you. What do you not admire then?

I think some must will get discriminated .... - In school
