Racial hybrids revealed!
An 19th century Japanese artist’s hilarious depiction of what kind of child is produced when races mix:
The link was sent to me by Edward Campbell, who asked the following question:
Hi, I came across this humorous 19th century painting depicting a dancing child born to a Japanese woman and a Western man. It is obvious that the artist views such unions as undesirable. I wonder if this view of gaijin marrying Japanese women still exists today?
My answer: While most Japanese people no longer believe that sex with Westerners will produce bearded children, there are still a few Japanese out there who view unions with westerners as undesirable. However, for the most part, I would say that the majority of Japanese people are very accepting of international couples and their children. Many popular celebrities here are the product of Japanese-Western couples, such as Becky, who has an English father and a Japanese mother:
Judging from her picture, you can safely say that female offspring of Japanese-Western unions do not have huge beards (unless she shaves hers). Male offspring of such unions have been known to grow facial hair after reaching adulthood, however.
