@therealtiamonet: also KEEP IN MIND - for those of you saying she or I "just look Japanese/Asian" - most Japanese and Asian community individuals DON'T claim us due to long standing racism/xenophobia so that's not even possible for us to claim that on an ethnic identity solely (again, separate from citizenship) #mixed #black

Ms. Henry :

If I’m not mistaken..She actually chose her Japanese citizenship because the US didn’t recognize her as a real tennis player so she used her Japanese citizenship. Smart move!! Again the US loss

Rose_NqobileK. :

Of course people are mad she chose Japanese citizenship over American—because isn’t America just ‘great’?

SoultyBoiBeats :

she was born in OSAKA

Haileigh Patrice 💋 :

Let me tell yall, if I had to choose between Japan and America I’m choosing Japan 😭

. :

Apparently Japan supported her early in her tennis career before she was famous like 15years old and she’s talked about the respect and gratitude she feels toward that.

Amara.SternB :

Teleporting this tiktok to every American household.

Belson2008 :

I completely agree! She loves and respects both sides. She is very involved in Haitian affairs.

Riri :

Thank you for this.

Nyala :

You and Naomi are stunning.

Tati Andrea :

I don't blame her for not picking the us, it kinda sucks

jamika.danielle :

My comment section is in shambles with them arguing her race when the post was about her fashions

Mean Jean :

Facts. Choosing to renounce American nationalism did NOT mean she renounced her HAITIAN culture! Haiti is not and American territory. We are our own country and culture which she still heavily participates in to this day

_wayn€300🇯🇲🦁 :

Thanks for this information, I was clueless about the choosing citizenship aspect of it

Anna Eats :

I think she does a very good job of telling both sides of her

Keyzdadream :

Wow thank you for sharing this💪🏾

NAJ :

Unfortunately those that need to know won’t listen.

Alana :
