Anyways, she's a non-Japanese person trying to integrate.
No she isn't. If she were trying to integrate, she'd just watch the Miss Japan competition and cheer for the real winner, not try to replace real Japanese people.
I know a couple of early-20s Korean immigrants that recently got their US citizenships through Army service. I told them, paraphrasing, "you are a citizen, but that doesn't make you American. But here's the special thing about the United States: I could go to Korea or Japan or Sweden or Egypt tomorrow and learn the language and live as the locals do for the rest of my life and I would never be Korean or Japanese or any other nationality. But the only thing you need to do to be an American is believe, 'America is the best, and I'm an American' and adopt American ideals. You do that and you pass it on to your kids and you're golden."
She's not trying to integrate because I realize now that she's pushing Civic Nationalism and Multi-Culturalism on an Ethno-National state. That was different than what I originally saw.

I completely agree with your example.
