Tennis star Naomi Osaka has clarified that she loves her country after some of her recent comments were misconstrued on social media over Japan being a racist country. Naomi was vocal about her stand against racism in the wake of protests following the death of George Floyd in America.
She recently tweeted: "I know I-ve been attacking a lot of racist Japanese tweets the last few days, but Japan is actually a really amazing place. I really don-t want to give the misconception that the entire country is racist, they just have a few bad apples like everyone else. Love you guys."
Later, in a string of tweets, she wrote: "I-m gonna be a peaceful person now." She followed it with: "My twitter fingers be itching tho."
