What you say can indeed be true, I can only speak from my limited personal experience while visiting the country (I tried to be very attentive):

To me, what you speak of didn't even occur to me while studying the women I saw. Not even once. For the most part, if I am to generalize, what struck me about them were that they all seemed to be extremely hard-working (Whether at a job or as mothers, I saw both.). "Dependable", "reliable" are words that I could use to describe how I perceived them. Thoughtful and kind also, but again, stupid gaijin speaking over here.

The mothers I saw with their kids seemed so caring and attentive to their children it was heart-warming.

On top of all of this, almost every one of them is gorgeous. They have nice hair. They aren't covered in tattoos and piercings. They aren't dressed like whores. They have beautiful legs (From all the walking, cycling and standing on trains, I'm assuming.). They are polite and humble. And they wear the cutest socks I've ever seen.

Even the mothers who just had new-born babies were somehow skinny and fit.

Suffice to say, when I arrived back in North America, I had an instant feeling of disgust when faced with the filthy fucking cows. And this last statement is no exaggeration, my friend. Thank the heavens for 2D or I would be in a very dark place these days, after discovering what things could be.

In any case, these are just my observations from the short time I had there. I'm sure it's not all milk and honey and that I am ignorant to a lot of details about their private lives; I just wanted to share my two cents.

On top of that, a lot of the above characteristics I could also attribute to Japanese men. Things such as: Most dress nice and are fit and lean and are hard-working, etc.

>The problem is that they are very picky, because they want a good husband with a good job. And most men simply have no chance to find a good job with the constant economic depression

I recall reading one study a few years ago asking Japanese women the minimum income they would require from a husband candidate, and 50% of responses would have excluded at least 80% of Japanese men.

The real problem is that they want the ideal of "husband works to make money, while wife does housework" when that isn't economically feasible today. In the West, both partners have to work, and in Japan, the husband has to work far more than is reasonable.

>actually shilling for mothers requiring a job

What isn't feasible is having children whose only interaction with their parents are when the parents both get home shit tired after a long day at work. What isn't feasible is children growing up raised by strangers, television and iPads(tm). What isn't feasible is children not getting nutritious, home-cooked meals at the age when it is most important to their development.

Yes, a father should be prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure the best possible future for his family. A part-time job is the most a mother should have.

I'm looking for some anime and/or manga with a protagonist who isn't ethnically Japanese. Doesn't matter if the protagonist is White, Black, Latino, Amerindian or whatever, I just want to see how Japan goes about writing non-Japanese protagonists.

Pic related is something I've already seen which I can name off the top of my head.

There's tons of stuff of this nature, but most of it deals with the far future (Bebop/LoGH/most mecha/etc), an alternate modern world (Fullmetal Alchemist/Hunter x Hunter/etc), or archaic fantasy civilization (Berserk/Lodoss/Spice and Wolf/etc). If we don't include things like that, and look only at settings in 'our' world or close, with MCs that are not even ambigiously Japanese, then I can come up with:

Lupin III, Baccano, Jojo (only some parts), Rose of Versailles, Vinland Saga, Hellsing, Michiko to Hatchin, Thermae Romae, Ristorante Paradiso, 91 Days, California Crisis, Shuumatsu no Izetta

Basically anything from World Masterpiece Theater also fits your criteria, but these are based on non-Japanese works. There are other examples of non-Japanese stories as anime/manga, as well, like Gankutsuou, Buddha, or Takarajima.

Your mileage may vary with all of these, obviously.

Thermae Romae, an ancient roman architect, especially interested in bathhouses, somehow finds a way to travel to modern day japan and uses his knowledge he gains from Japan to make better bathhouses in ancient Rome.

You missed one just a week or 2 ago. It went through two 500+ post threads. Also, from what I gleaned, it seemed to be a "rainy" stream. I can't give you much else from that since I don't frequent r/a/dio threads, but they definitely still do happen.

What's wrong with it? I keep seeing people talk about how absolutely awful it is, but the specific complaints I can find are mostly normalfags saying it was too creepy and pedophilic. The only thing I've seen that sounded valid was dislike for some of the VAs, which I wouldn;t think enough to justify the hate.

For my part at least it was just complete dissatisfaction with how the anime-original parts were shoehorned in. Overall the anime doesn't do anything so well that you'd miss out by not watching it, and furthermore fucks up where it doesn't even have to.

You should know that asking for such things on a public medium won't grant you any favorable results.

I've read that AB drops the ban hammer instantly on anyone getting invited this way anyway.

I'm certain that at this point the only way in is to be regularly active on any number of online anime communities, build a name for yourself, meet the right people, and finally, PM them for an invite.

So if you're a filthy anon like me, with no social media or any noticeable online presence and no friends… well, you're fucked, pal.
