ㅅㅂ 존나 인정
한중일 싸움은 아무리 피터지는 싸움이라도
절대 문맥에서 벗어나지 않는데
저쪽들은 대화의 문맥과 중점을 이해를 못하고 지들하고 싶은 말만 앵무새마냥 반복함
지능 차이 존나 느껴짐
그러니 치안 차이도 왜 이렇게 나는지 이제 알겠다 지능이 낮아서 준법정신도 낮은거였음

To be honest, I believe many people in Brazil lack sufficient knowledge about Asia, including its history, cultures, and traditions.

With that in mind, the comment made toward Korean people — “you are beautiful in your natural skin, you don’t need to try to make yourselves look white” — is not necessarily a compliment. At the very least, if the receiver does not perceive it as a compliment, then it is not a compliment; even if the intention was positive, it can be received as sarcasm or condescension.

A key issue here is the tendency to treat 1.4 billion Asians as a single group and impose a generalized idea of “Asian natural skin tone.” Asia is extremely diverse. There are people with very fair skin, as well as people with yellowish or brownish skin tones, and many other variations.

Moreover, the idea that Asians are “trying to imitate white people” or “aspire to be white” is a serious misunderstanding. Fair skin has been traditionally valued in many Asian cultures for thousands of years, long before any contact with Europeans.

In addition, the most common reasons people in Asia use sunscreen or umbrellas are not about wanting to become lighter-skinned, but about protecting the skin from UV damage and maintaining healthy, youthful skin.

Issues such as penis size, suicide rates, theft, child pornography, long working hours, cosmetic surgery, the atomic bomb, or the comfort women issue are completely irrelevant to any discussion about skin color. People from both Japan/Korea and Brazil should stop engaging in unnecessary insults and instead show respect for each other’s history and traditions. That alone would resolve much of this conflict.

Finally, this is a personal opinion, but I think the excessive use of filters and heavy makeup in K-pop culture can sometimes create misunderstandings that Asians are trying to imitate white people, so I hope things become more natural and balanced in that regard.

this is exactly one of the biggest downsides of X making the internet feel borderless

grok’s translations are basically just a rough aid. they barely work as intended, and when u’re taking a language as nuanced as japanese and translating it into portuguese, it’s no surprise that ur humor doesn’t always come across. maybe for everyday conversation, sure, but jokes, sarcasm, and cultural context are a completely different story.

and saying “brazilians don’t get the joke because they have low IQs” is an incredibly lazy and stupid conclusion. as a fellow japanese person, i honestly find that mindset embarrassing and annoying.

if ur IQ is really as high as u claim, then write that brilliant joke in english instead. translation tools handle english far better than japanese. if the joke is actually funny, people from all over the world should be able to understand it.

If you’re beautiful, why do you feel the need to put others down? Is it some kind of self-esteem issue?

You started by attacking Asia, so I’ll say this: there are no women in Asia who envy your skin. And above all, you already have deep wrinkles on your forehead. For someone in their 40s it’s okay, I guess—but that’s about it

I’m Japanese, and I’ll judge this as fairly and objectively as possible, but from what I can see, the Korean side didn’t do anything wrong.

The Brazilians pointed out that Koreans “aren’t white,” but the Korean side never even claimed that they were white in the first place. They were simply saying that there are people in East Asia who are naturally born with lighter skin. This is true not only in Korea but also in Japan. In fact, in snowy regions, pale skin has long been considered common, and historically it has often been seen as a standard of beauty.

Despite that, the Brazilian side kept insisting things like “you’re just trying to be white,” or that Koreans and Japanese are just obsessed with whiteness and artificially changing their appearance with makeup or filters, without really listening to what they were saying.

In that kind of situation, it was probably inevitable that mutual respect broke down. On top of that, translation issues made communication even worse, and the discussion escalated into insults.

The Brazilians started bringing up things like child pornography, penis size, suicide rates, long working hours, and war crimes when talking about Japan and Korea.

And in response, Japan and Korea brought up things like poverty rates, homicide rates, and IQ differences in Brazil.

It’s all just pointless. Skin color and beauty are subjective things—there’s no point in trying to rank people based on them.

And honestly, what was most disappointing was realizing that even among Brazilians I thought were pro-Japan, there seemed to be hidden resentment toward Japan. That was sad for me, because I actually like Brazil.

[TOM @2_17_75]

That is all completely true, but in the end it doesn’t really solve anything. Here, only good people gather and it’s peaceful simply because of that.

When speaking about other countries, you must learn their traditions and historical background, and approach them with the utmost respect.

In reality, there was no intention of aggression from the Brazilians, but even so, how something is received depends on interpretation. Language barriers, as well as the historical and cultural contexts mentioned earlier, can unintentionally lead to confusion and conflict.

Some Brazilians seemed to be very knowledgeable about Asian history and well-studied, and I felt that we were able to quickly understand this as a pointless dispute caused by differences in translation and values

Whether you’re beautiful or not isn’t the issue. The real question is: why do you feel the need to belittle others?

You already have your own beauty and a rich culture. If you’re genuinely confident in them, there is no need to attack anyone else.

Those unnecessary comments only provoke resentment and create needless conflicts between people and countries.

And since you brought up birth rates, Brazil’s fertility rate is also below the replacement level needed to maintain its population. It’s hardly in a position to look down on other countries over that issue.

[TOM @2_17_75]

They mock Koreans, brag about being naturally beautiful without plastic surgery, and confidently post selfies. But the moment those selfies get rated poorly, they start playing the victim.

If they’re going to attack other people’s looks, they should be prepared to have their own looks judged too.
