    Dely Apple runs the world out of an undisclosed location in the Bay Area. He subcontracts to various other conspirators to establish plausible deniability

    Some Japanese girls liked lookin' ugly like, five or ten years ago.

    Now British teens of both sexes are trying to look the same kind of ugly.

    The end is nigh.

    honestly I only ever saw real yamanba/ganguro gaggles of fuckheads like a handful of times in all of the ridiculous amount of time I spent in Shibuya

    this is just people being retarded about Japanese culture. We're talking 5-10 years too late. Stupid fuckin' honkeys.

    White people are imitating the japanese rejecting japanese imitating white cultural standards through a medium that in itself was used by whites to imitate black people. The sheer level of convoluted racial and ethnic confusion is bewildering.

    it has little to do with whites imitating blacks.
    the idea behind what they do NOWADAYS has to do with imitating tanned blondes one might stereotypically find in southern California.

    it's much more superficial than imitating "white cultural standards"
    it's really all about being tan/blonde/not-yer-normal-japanese chick/dude

    The only popular things to do nowadays are be considered gyaru or gyaru-o (the male equiv)

    basically it is the merging of hipsterish ironic appreciation and japanophile culture into a phenomenon that is the terrifying apotheosis of both.

    I want to see one of these girls go to a black neighborhood and get the shit beaten out of them for looking like they were doing some black face routine.

    I'll agree with this insofar as we're only talking about what happens with these Brits.

    I'll try to find the LJ of the Italian girl who was trying to be ganguro. it was disturbing.

    I didn't say they intended to imitate blacks, just that what they were doing happened to resemble blackface in many ways.

    See, I don't think I'd inherently consider it connected to blackface. I guess I can't say I know much about blackface save what I've seen in old black and whites and read about in old stage routines, but blackface seemed to be a comedic thing resembling mockery of blacks and their stereotyped shenanigans.

    blackface wasn't a comedic thing at all

    white jazz singers would put on blackface because audiences were used to singers being black

    Al Jolson and shit

    uh no

    not even close

    blackface started about 100 years before jazz

    sam nailed what it's original intent was

    They also used it when a part for a play or something similar called for a black person but they didn't let blacks participate. So they used blackface.

    guys I was just pointing out the oddity of the Japanese using a historically offensive style in a completely unrelated manner and then having it be imitated by the people who had first used it offensively in the first place.

    Okay, so there's been some shouting today. It's not all that unusual, my wheelchair-bound room mate tends to be loud. I figured it was just the usual.

    When I got downstairs, there was a police officer looking very cross indeed.

    This hasn't happened before, but I can't say I was surprised.
