obviously what else would they be?

Japanese people now claim that on the genetic level, the majority (40%-50%) of them belong to Haplogroup D2 (Y-DNA), and so they are a "rather homogenous group of people". Because Haplogroup D2 (Y-DNA) is also the marker of the indigenous Ainu people, they are "directly descended from the very first peoples who inhabited the land" and so they have "a legitimate claim to the land".
Haplogroup D2 (Y-DNA) is a child of Haplogroup DE (Y-DNA), which in turn is also the parent of Haplogroup E (Y-DNA). Haplogroup E (Y-DNA) occurs in very high frequencies in sub-Saharan Africa. In other words, it can be said that the Japanese people are more related to Tibetans, Andanamese, sub-Saharan Africans (in that order), rather than to the Chinese people, who are majority Haplogroup O (Y-DNA). Southern Chinese have the highest incidences of Haplogroup O (Y-DNA). The Chinese people are thus more related to the Caucasians of Haplogroup R1 (Y-DNA), via their common ancestor Haplogroup MNOPS (Y-DNA).
The perception that Chinese and Japanese people look similar may be due to the similar latitude and/or environments in which they evolve in the more recent past.

The Japanese further claim that they are majority Haplogroup D4 (mtDNA) via the maternal line.
Haplogroup D4 (mtDNA) is most frequently found among Koreans, and it is claimed that Haplogroup D4 (mtDNA) is a major contributor to Japanese longevity. That said, the parent Haplogroup D (mtDNA) can be found in high frequencies in the peoples of Central Asia.
The Japanese also claim Haplogroups (mtDNA) B and F to be present in lower frequencies in their maternal lines, but these do not contribute to Japanese longevity.
Haplogroups (mtDNA) B and F are more frequently found in Southern Chinese and Southeast Asian populations. Compared to Haplogroup D (mtDNA), Haplogroups (mtDNA) B and F are much more closely related to Haplogroup H (mtDNA), which is frequently found among Caucasians, via their common ancestor Haplogroup R (mtDNA).
Yes. There are 47 countries on the continent of ASIA. They are technically Asian, however, they most likely differentiate themselves by COUNTRY

Not neccisarily, I haven't seen any black Japenese people. They look like Chinese people, and have somewhat of tannish skin.
Yes, absolutely.
kind of
r u racist
yes
Japanese people usually have black hair, or if they're old, they will have white or grey. Many of them wear glasses. They have squinted eyes, unlike in their cartoons.
Shinju 真珠

No way Americans love Japanese people.
white and red
The red is the people and white is protecting the people(red)
because the first people chose it to be that way
In traditional Chinese culture, white face makeup was worn in operas and theatrical performances to symbolize different character types and emotions. It allowed actors to convey emotions more effectively to the audience. Additionally, a pale complexion has historically been associated with wealth and status in Chinese society.
You would be considered biracial or multiracial, with a mix of White and Japanese ancestry.

"Byakuren" is how you say "White Lotus" in Japanese.
White when translated from English to Japanese is shiro for shiro means white
The same reason that white people are born with brown blond or red hair...genes...
The Japanese adjective for white is 白い(しろい) or 'shiroi'.
"Not white" is "shirokunai."
The two colors of the Japanese flag are white and red. The flag is called Nisshoki in Japanese but is more popularly known as Hinomaru.
No. They have them at the white house. The Japanese Government gave them to the US.
