Not only because of accusations, but simply because it's very hard to pull off the look that is developed and adjusted for japanese girls who generally look very very different. It's hard for white girls too, mind the black girls! And I still find some black gyaru who are much more better looking than white gyarus, and some that managed to keep the essentials of the style (the attitude) far better than white gals. Hell, some are better than asian girls! And it's simple, you either got it or you don't, and you either want to work on yourself and improve or you don't. <br />When I've first got into the style, quite a few years back, and wasn't aware of the gaijin gyaru community at all, I just couldn't imagine a black girl being a good gyaru. And these days I've proven to have been so wrong back then :)<br /><br />Btw wouln't it be interesting to do a question about being a gaijin gyaru in general? As in, we all know that gyaru as a style was invented because japanese girls wanted to look like european/american girls, so what's the point of european and american girls wanting to look like themselves by copying japanese girls that copy them? If you understand what I mean. I think it's a very interesting subject and I've been thinking about that a lot lately :)237qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061532418001125967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638011331641836662.post-31010550839153362082013-06-23T07:19:19.574+02:002013-06-23T07:19:19.574+02:00Well, if when a person says "black gyaru suck...Well, if when a person says "black gyaru sucks" and it has nothing whatsoever to do with race, why are they even stating you're black? What's the point? Why can't it just be your a "bad gyaru"!? Obviously, there is a factor of race being played, so yes, it's a racist statement! lol Also, in what you say in this post it doesn't sound like your at all are trying to understand Black American gyarus, but instead just bashing them. If you want to make a good argument, you may disagree, but you have to be willing to understand the arguer point and empathize, which you are not doing, or well enough, apparently. Just a food for thought there.

I must say that this is kind of a sad post. I'm American, I understand that you are not, so it's hard for someone that isn't to understand how it is being Black American and living in the world. It's freaking hard. You won't understand that when you put someones race in front of something that describes them, it is racist and offensive. Not matter what the race is. <br /><br />I know different cultures have their own views on race and racial interactions. I get it. But no one should tell a Black American how they should feel about how they are being treated or spoken of. Unless it's like super ridiculous. Even then...<br /><br />You really gotta live here and be born American to understand it.Nessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03915868485660248835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638011331641836662.post-78897470952670074932013-06-09T15:07:44.302+02:002013-06-09T15:07:44.302+02:00How are black gals suppose to just ignore the skin...How are black gals suppose to just ignore the skin difference if others don't. I'm not gyaru, but I follow a lot of them. I like being ulzzang instead, which is a HUGE difference, because I'm darker skinned and when I first started everywhere I searched said being ulzzang meant having bright, clear, beautiful skin. Now I see do many Black, Mexican, Chinese, whichever Ulzzang! The problem is, even if gals tried to just be gyaru and enjoy it and not focus so much on their skin other people still say things like, "all black gyaru are ugly/trash/shit, whatever!" or "You are such an ugly black gyaru." Why can't they just be an ugly gyaru? I admit that it can sometimes seem like a lot of black gals pull the racist card for any little offense, but a lot of what people say about them is racist, because those people are focusing on their skin colour and singling them out for that! Also another thing is I think it is harder for black gals(mainly in America, since that is where I am) to try to dress gyaru, because they are constantly called ghetto or ratchet. In America if someone sees a black gal with pink/white/bleu or any colour hair but black/brown and she's wearing shorts with chains, a T-shirt with rips in the back or a bustier they instantly call or ghetto, trashy, ratchet or a slut/hoe, whatever. It's not as easy as just dressing as you like and enjoying it, because there are assholes who love to judge you, but they do judge everyone. It's just more prominent against minorities. I think people should just do what they want and ignore the negative comments, because someone will always dislike you and judge you.

It doesn't always happen. But last week a lot of the Black gyaru community were pretty much shit on for no reason. Being Black in America is hard, we're are dogged on for being natural and dogged on for not being natural. So a majority of the time it's as if we can't win. The black gyaru community have their own problems and spats over sometimes ridiculous things. Some New Gals can't handle criticisms very well and sometimes that doesn't help. The older Gals may come off as harsh because of how people interpret the text. And sometimes they are a little tough. But you have to be positive as well as have a tough skin no matter what community they're in. It irks me to know end to see black gals get trashed whether they're just starting out or they've been in the community for awhile. Sometimes people are just that racist and have nothing better to do and to those who aren't American they may not understand the reason some black gyaru get up in arms about some things.
