Motoko Rich : Naomi Osaka, a New Governor and Me

The New York Times  (article)
Naomi Osaka, a New Governor and Me
Is Japan becoming more welcoming to mixed-race people?
Summary
I sometimes read articles that the writer Motoko Rich writes because she often introduces her articles on Twitter.
Why I chose this is that people answered "Yes" to the question of whether Japan is becoming more welcoming to mixed-race people, or not.

I was really happy because I thought that Japanese people became able to welcome them, in the article, the writer felt that Japanese had the same way of thinking, it’s important that you are in Japanese side, and they pointed at foreigner as “Gaijin”, though.

This time, Japanese people look welcoming Ms.Osaka and Tamaki who are half, and the writer’s children feel being welcomed more than before.

However, I've realized that this is the New York Times newspaper thus almost readers must not be Japanese, the newspaper must be written for readers become happy at least and probably, and on Twitter, comments were not written by Japanese.

Furthermore, the title is the question: "Is Japan becoming more welcoming to mixed-race people?"
In the article, the writer has a question: She has wondered whether Japanese attitudes toward identity are slowly starting to accommodate with mixed heritages.
And then what works for the writer is “double”.

It means that the answer is not “Yes”.
It’s just increased numbers of half in Japan and it’s only celebrated the champion or winner. After all, Japanese people haven’t still realized their attitudes.

P.S. l have something that l really want to tell you here.
It’s difficult to see the problem of identities in the world and even America. I think that this article must have more important thoughts.
Those are that Black American tennis player couldn't win against Asian and the media can't focus on the true problem of Okinawa.
This was the sad article, in fact.
