Japanese netizens reaction to nude photo of Serena Williams
October 12th, 2009 by James
English translations of a few selected comments left by users of 2-channel, Japan’s largest online bulletin board, in response to the news that American tennis player Serena Williams posed nude for the cover of a recent issue of ESPN magazine:
Gross.
—
Even though I know it’s gross I couldn’t help but open it.
—
Don’t paste such gross pictures.
—
I’m not turned on by black (kuronbo) nudes.
—
Looks like fried dough cake.
—
Black color sure is pretty.
She seems so strong.
But I don’t think anyone could stand up to (keep up with ) her unless they were black …
—
If she were white and not black I’d find her about 20% more erotic.
—
She looks like Akiko Wada.
—
Isn’t sex with black women supposed to be awesome? I mean, they seem to have so much stamina…
—
That I’m not turned on isn’t due to her being black but rather a question of the make (of her face).
—
I have to tell you, I think it’s erotic.
—
Something about it is awesome.
Black people’s skin glitters and is healthy and pretty.
The part I can see, at least.
—
If you fight her you’ll definitely lose.
—
Standards of beauty vary a lot between countries and races, but is Serena hot to a black person?
—
Although I’m looking at this as a Japanese person, she’s a pretty person.
In America special reports on athletes are included but
I was raised in America I wonder if my sense of it has become American-ish.
—
It’s good to have a little bit of padding.
Over 500 comments were left in the original thread. Most were negative (about 30 comments compared her to a gorilla), but there were quite a few that thought she looked good.

Having grown up there, cant say I'm surprised at the comments. The Japanese standard of beauty is insanely skewed and I can remember on more than one occasion being called all sorts of crazy names simply because I'm half African-American and have brown skin. It's a shame but then again, thats the "we Japanese" for ya. The "Looks like fried dough cake" comment had me rolling though.
