I see more variety in appearance in white families between siblings than I have in the entire Japanese race.

Don't get me wrong though, I have no problem telling Japs apart from each other.

Would Japs say the same thing about us?

and black hair, and auburn hair, and brown hair, and red hair, and ginger hair, and green eyes, and brown eyes, and hazel eyes, and short

Japs all conform to a basic standard (over 99%):
- Black hair (unless they dye it brown)
- Black eyes
- Short
- Round face
- (relatively) large lips
- Slim figure

Like that one time a Japanese show claimed that Americans were also suffering from people becoming shorter in an attempt to make Japanese feel good about the fact that they'e getting shorter every generation. Saying that George Washington's height of 6 feet was common at the time. Which is not true, he was unusually tall and people in the west are taller now than we were hundreds of years ago.

They would, just like all groups stereotype those who aren't like them, but they'd be wrong. There is more skin-deep variety in white people than in asians, plain and simple.

Even if I was white, how would that change the argument? Do you honestly think what the average America sees as individuality is anything other than fucking vanity? How you look does not make you an individual, it makes you a superficial cunt.

lol, keep telling yourself that. The degree of conformity might not be as bad as in Japan, but the vast majority of people are still mindless followers of society and popular culture.

I always feel funny about it when I see a girl with very akward-looking legs. I can almost feel like her shins are about to snap. Bowed-legs can't possibly be all that fun.

Also, fun fact: All humans are born with bow-legs, but they straighten out as you grow older.

This isn't particularly a bad thing. Take OP's picture. Assuming all the girls had similar facial structure, and seeing as they're pretty much the same anyways, getting a Japanese waifu will be easier. This is because you can essentially pick from a large pool and ,chances are, your choice will be of the same quality as picking another one from the pool! Too bad I'll never get this chance ;_;

If you think things like democracy and capitalism don't come from individualist values, you're just deluding yourself.

[Anonymous No.]

fact: compared to the whites, asian has less diversity in their appearance.

thinking that having a more difference in the individuality is good as an personal opinion

thinking you should see a particular race to be inferior because of the fact and leading to the thought of exterminating the races = going back to the good ol' imperialism, now start making those sugar canes with opium.

the "superficial appearance" of individualism is a RESULT of deep-rooted individualist values in western societies.

Jesus fucking Christ, did I actually just have to say this to someone?

[Anonymous No.]

>>1515756
All individualism means in its most basic form is putting value in the individual before society. Thus, an individualist would believe that individual rights and freedoms are more important than a strong, autonomous state. And with that you have things like democracy and capitalism.

Those values may have been imporant centuries ago, but your average American young adult doesn't give a shit about democracy.

>>1515756
I really don't see anything individualistic in everybody conforming to the latest trends and allowing their behavior to be guided by whatever newest advertising campaign the corporations have decided to launch. Or in getting their ideas from mass media, organized religion, and radical pundits from across the political spectrum, rather than thinking for themselves.

Those are the results of a decentralized culture. Individualism doesn't exactly mean any sort of practical intelligence, it merely means not having one's values determined by one authority, but instead determined by unconscious trends (think memes) in a close to anarchic system. As individuals gain autonomy, society loses autonomy.

If that's your definition of individualism then Japan is as individualistic as the U.S. No one authority causes Japan's conformity, it is society, which is the summation of those "unconscious trends."

However, your definition is incorrect. Being swayed by trends is the opposite of individualism, which is about independent thought and action. You don't have to be intelligent to be individualistic, you just have to think for yourself.

Highest in the last half century doesn't really count for much. Voter turnout across all demographics is so pathetically low that it's no wonder our democracy is a failing system.

[Anonymous No.]

The problem with western society isn't individualism, but the ego that comes with it. A man can be forgiven for being concerned about himself as long as he cares more about what he can do than what he is. No one gets anywhere by liking themselves and admiring their own uniqueness, they get somewhere by doing their shit. Since the western-style ideals of individualism tells us to focus so much on ourselves, people will choose to study computer science because it's cool and thus would make them cool, instead of choosing it because they enjoy it, have a talent for it or both.
