Why is there such rampant surge of non-Japanese folks wanting to claim themselves as somehow Japanese?? Why do they want to be Japanese instead of someone who they simply are?? Japan and Japanese is merely a nation and a national identity that only says someone is either a citizen or a citizen born in Japan. Why do Japanophiles try so hard to make this such an overly complex matter?? Where do they find the time to go through hundreds of years of history and millions of family tree lines in order to go out of their way to PROVE they are Japanese??

Are these Japanophiles somehow sick of their current identity?? What is it for?? Is there an ulterior motives for people going this far to distinguish themselves specially?? I don't understand.

There are some "turanian" folks who go out of their way to find DNA connections between them and Japanese as well as going through their family lines where some folks think they are decendant of some lost emperor or something who had connection with a certain kin who might be Japanese 2342352 years ago or something.

Also, alot of these guys trying to link themselves to Japanese tend to be very emotional with emotional issues too. Whats their problem? They not only want to connect themselves to Japan and Japanese but they want to seperate themselves genetically to people they don't like even if they might be partially of someone else, they will fight back fiercley if you try to correct them, making them some kinda extremist or racist in one way or another.

Why do Japanese tend to attract wierd people most of the time?? How do Japanese feel about this? Being loved mostly by extremists and wierdos??

Japan is one of the only nations in Asia which can truly be called the first world.

Most other nations are still in various stages of development.

Maybe that's a reason.
