Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Miss World Japan on being half-Indian: 'Everyone thought I was a germ' 
  
 Ariana Miyamoto became the first biracial contestant to be crowned Miss Universe Japan in 2015. 
  
 Her win was a symbolic one. Born in Nagasaki, Japan, to a Japanese mother and African-American father, Miyamoto stretched rigid cultural ideas about what it means to be Japanese, making room for more hafu, or half-Japanese, people like her. 
  
 And despite the backlash, her coup also encouraged Priyanka Yoshikawa — a half-Indian, half-Japanese English teacher and qualified elephant trainer living in Tokyo — to enter another high-profile beauty pageant: Miss World. On Monday, Yoshikawa took home the crown.

 Following her win, Yoshikawa reflected on Miyamoto's legacy, telling AFP: "Before Ariana, hafu girls couldn’t represent Japan… That’s what I thought too. I didn’t doubt it or challenge it until this day. Ariana encouraged me a lot by showing me and showing all mixed girls the way." 
  
 "I know a lot of people who are hafu and suffer," Yoshikawa said, noting how multiracial people are othered in the largely racially homogenous country. "We have problems, we've been struggling and it hurts." 
  
 The beauty queen, who spent one year in India and the three years in the U.S., adds that she faced less ostracism abroad than at home. "When I came back to Japan, everyone thought I was a germ. Like, if they touched me they would be touching something bad." 
  
 "When I'm abroad, people never ask me what mix I am. As Miss Japan, hopefully I can help change perceptions so that it can be the same here too. The number of people with mixed race is only going to increase, so people have to accept it." 
  
 Yoshikawa will compete for the Miss World crown in Washington this December.

 A half-Indian woman has been crowned Miss World Japan, the second year in a row a biracial person has won a beauty pageant in the country. 
  
 Priyanka Yoshikawa, 22 and who also has an elephant training licence, said she would use her win to "change perceptions". 
  
 Last year, Ariana Miyamoto was the first mixed-race person to win the Miss Universe pageant. 
  
 Critics complained then that a "pure" Japanese should have won. 
  
 Only about 3% of babies born every year in Japan are biracial, or "hafu", the Japanese word for half.

 "We are Japanese," Ms Yoshikawa told AFP news agency. "Yes, my dad is Indian and I'm proud of it, I'm proud that I have Indian in me. But that doesn't mean I'm not Japanese." 
  
 She credited her win to Ms Miyamoto, saying she had helped show "mixed girls the way". 
  
 "Before Ariana, hafu girls couldn't represent Japan," said Ms Yoshikawa. "That's what I thought too. Ariana encouraged me a lot by showing me and all mixed girls the way. 
  
 "I know a lot of people who are hafu and suffer," she said. "When I came back to Japan, everyone thought I was a germ." 
  
 "Like if they touched me they would be touching something bad. But I'm thankful because that made me really strong." 
  
 Indians say 'get over it': Geeta Pandey, BBC News, Delhi

 A few years ago, a woman of Indian descent, Nina Davuluri, faced Twitter abuse after being crowned Miss America. Some called her an "Arab", some a "terrorist", and some an "Arab terrorist". Indians, in large numbers, came to her defence. 
  
 Now, Ms Yoshikawa is being criticised for having an Indian father and some Indians have taken to social media to advise the Japanese to "get over it". One Twitter user said she won because she "must have deserved it" while another said "after Gautam Buddha, Ms Yoshikawa is the only Indian to make it big in Japan". 
  
 In Ms Yoshikawa's case - as in Ms Davuluri's before her - the biggest complaint seems to be the "lack of purity". But some are wondering whether this debate over purity has any relevance in today's globalised world. 
  
 As one Twitter user said: "Talent cannot be controlled or ruled by caste, colour, gender or country of origin." 
  
 The pageant winner, also an avid kick-boxer and qualified elephant trainer, said that she hoped to change perceptions. 
  
 "When I'm abroad, people never ask me what mix I am. As Miss Japan, hopefully I can help change perceptions so that it can be the same here too." 
  
 'I feel Japanese' 
  
 Ms Yoshikawa's win did not trigger the backlash that Ms Miyamoto received on social media. 
  
 There were however, several on Twitter that expressed unhappiness.

 "It's like we're saying a pure Japanese face can't be a winner," said one user. 
  
 "What's the point of holding a pageant like this now? Zero national characteristics," another complained. 
  
 Ms Yoshikawa however, was not letting the doubters get to her. 
  
 "There was a time as a kid when I was confused about my identity," she said. "But I've lived in Japan so long now I feel Japanese." |||||

Growing up in Japan, "everyone thought I was a germ. Like, if they touched me they would be touching something bad," says Priyanka Yoshikawa. It's an experience she wants no one else to endure. The half-Indian, half-Japanese English teacher crowned Miss World Japan on Monday has promised to "change perceptions" about haafu, or people with one non-Japanese parent, in a country where they're sometimes associated with a "lack of purity," per the BBC. "It's like we're saying a pure Japanese face can't be a winner," a Twitter user commented after Yoshikawa's win. Others called her "dirty," per BuzzFeed. As Yoshikawa puts it, "We have problems, we've been struggling and it hurts." "Yes, my dad is Indian and I'm proud of it," she adds. "But that doesn't mean I'm not Japanese." Yoshikawa—who will vie for the Miss World title in December—says she was inspired by Miss Universe Japan 2015 Ariana Miyamoto, whose mother is Japanese and father is African-American, per USA Today. "Before Ariana, haafu girls couldn't represent Japan," says Yoshikawa, but she wants to push perceptions further. "When I'm abroad, people never ask me what mix I am," says the beauty queen, who was born in Tokyo but spent years of her childhood in India and the US. "As Miss Japan, hopefully I can help change perceptions so that it can be the same here, too."
