フジテレビに「Blackface(ブラックフェイス)」のグループの出演に関する署名について 動画
I agree that Japanese people should know American media make a big deal out of cultural and racial adoption by members of a different group.
However, if the expats in Japan really love Japan and don't want to degrade the image of Japan, why not educate the Americans that black is beautiful and there is nothing wrong with painting one's face black as long as it is done beautifully to pay tribute to black people and tell the African Americans to leave behind the idea that black is ugly and acting and making up like black people always means mocking black people.
Suppose a white guy perfectly transform himself into a black guy by high-tech make-up and nobody can tell the difference between him and native black people. If he is mocking black people, then black people are mocking themselves. But that is not the case. Therefore, there are cases where people other than black people can paint himself as black with no offence.
It's American skewed history of mocking black people by black face and their bias that black is ugly that makes them assume that making up like black people always means racism.
Why do you think that the West---or rather U.S.A. in this case--- has the right to impose their idea without dialogue with the local people?
If you don't like the way they make up, be specific.

For instance, say, the skin color is too deep or too crude to the point of mocking people or something like that.
And don't tell me that a foreigner loves Japan when (s)he can't communicate in Japanese and does not learn history of Japan (---and Japan is just a place to make money and exploit women.)
Japanese people are getting sick and tired of foreigners who just want attention from their homeland by acting as if (s)he was an expert on Japan.
Integrate by communicating and discussing with Japanese people IN JAPANESE. Japan is not a colony of U.S.A.----no?.
