Walking through the Shibuya section of Tokyo, Ariana Miyamoto adidas originals certainly turns heads -- and she wants to use that attention to change attitudes. When Miyamoto was crowned Miss Universe Japan in March, selected by a panel of seven Japanese judges, her surprise on stage was real, reports CBS News correspondent Seth Doane. She was the first-ever winner to be biracial. Her father is African-American, and her mother is Japanese. At first, I didn t want to compete, Miyamoto said in Japanese. But then a close friend who was also biracial committed suicide. That s when I decided to do something about the suffering he d endured. She said the friend really hated being half Japanese and not being fully accepted into Japanese society. Japan still has racial iss yeezy ues, and I wanted to do something about it, she said. Japan, an island nation that didn t open to the world until the late 1800s, still lacks real diversity today. Mixed-race children made up le af1 ss than 2 percent of births in 2013. At the Tokyo gym where she works out twice a week, it s hard to imagine this now confident, stunning 20-year-old was once a bullied kid. Whenever the teacher told us to hold hands, other children thought my black skin would rub-off on them, so they said, Don t touch me, Miyamoto said. Some kids wouldn t get in the pool with me. Others threw garbage at me. The beauty queen, who is constantly smiling these days, said she was ready for the criticism that erupted online.
