福田萌子さんのインスタグラム写真 - (福田萌子Instagram)「「We don't need YELLOW anymore」 When I was 18 years old, I was most often told when I was staying in Paris to challenge Paris Collection(Fashion Week). If 20 models are needed on the runway, 19 are whites. The other one is black or yellow. Recognizing blacks and yellows or any other race, as a secondary option as if we are never a priority to the fashion industry in the first place. 「We don't need yellow anymore because we already have one」「I choose black more than yellow because they have better physical features」I got these comments a lot. - I was born and raised in Okinawa, but my parents are from the other part of Japan. Even when I wear the same uniforms and speak the same dialect with friends,However, it was common for people to use certain discriminating terms towards me. I was 168 cm in elementary school and it was noticeable, so I was often being bullied for it. 【AND I KNOW】also you had kind of this experience at least. 【BUT DEFINITELY】We were not in danger of losing our lives. - Now, we got an opportunity to think, learn, improve about blacklivesmatter again. Racism is a big issue. We will never be able to understand completely but we must learn. Don’t be afraid of take mistakes to say. Silence is matter. We are all half way to learn in our life. - For us(Japanese) to first step in our community. Let’s start to embrace diversity in our daily lives. The future can be created by changing our consciousness.」6月2日 19時34分
