It's a bit confusing that the word Japanese is used to describe both the nationality and the race. It could even be construed as insulting that the original article calls her a 'half Japanese beauty', when she is a full Japanese citizen who was born in Japan and identifies as Japanese.
'Yamato' is sometimes used describe the main ethnic group in Japan but that doesn't seem to be in common usage even in Japan. |

I'd be extremely elated if we could just get rid of the outdated, erroneous, and offensive concept of 'race' altogether (except insofar as it's absolutely needed in our attempt to undo the horrors and harms it has been used to commit over the past five centuries). However, realistically, I don't think that will happen in the near future. On the other hand, there is a chance, a small one, that people will stop accepting RocketNews24 as a real news source while and at the same time exaggerating its already sensationalized headlines. That would make me glad.
