SÃO PAULO—With “jewel-tone eyes,” blond hair and a “smattering of light freckles,” Othello looks nothing like most Brazilians, the majority of whom are black or mixed-race. Yet the “Caucasian” American cashier, described in those terms by the Seattle Sperm Bank and known as Donor 9601, is one of the sperm providers most often requested by wealthy Brazilian women importing the DNA of young U.S. men at unprecedented rates.

Over the past seven years, human semen imports from the U.S. to Brazil have surged as more rich single women and lesbian couples select donors whose online profiles suggest they will yield light-complexioned and preferably blue-eyed children.

Brazil is one of the fastest-growing markets for imported semen in recent years, said Michelle Ottey, laboratory director of Virginia-based Fairfax Cryobank, a large distributor and the biggest exporter to Brazil. More than 500 tubes of foreign semen frozen in liquid nitrogen arrived at Brazilian airports last year, officials and sperm-bank directors said, up from 16 in 2011. Complete data from Anvisa, Brazil’s health-care regulator, isn’t yet available for 2017.

U.S. sperm-bank directors said preferences like those of Brazilian purchasers hold across their global market. “The vast majority of what we have and what we sell are the Caucasian blond-haired, blue-eyed donors,” said Fredrik Andreasson, CFO of Seattle Sperm Bank, which provides about a quarter of Brazil’s imports.

Everyone wants a “pretty kid” and for many parents in Brazil, where prejudice often runs deep, that means “the white biotype—light-colored eyes and skin,” said Susy Pommer, a 28-year-old data analyst from São Paulo who decided to get pregnant last year after a breast-cancer scare left her eager to raise a child right away with her partner, Priscilla.

The preference for white donors reflects a persistent preoccupation with race in a country where social class and skin color correlate with glaring accuracy. More than 50% of Brazilians are black or mixed-race, a legacy of Brazil having imported more than 10 times as many African slaves than the U.S.; it was the last Western country to ban slavery, in 1888. The descendants of white colonizers and immigrants—many of whom were lured to Brazil in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the ruling elite explicitly sought to “whiten” the population—control most of the country’s political power and wealth.

In such a racially divided society, having fair-skinned offspring is often viewed as a way to provide a child with better prospects, from a higher salary to fairer treatment by the police.

Have Japan’s “share houses” become a target for women seeking gaijin baby daddies?


Evie Nyan Jan 9, 2018

If you’ve ever flipped through the pages of a glossy Japanese fashion magazine like Vivi or Non-no, you might have noticed that quite a few of the models are half-Japanese. For various cultural and aesthetic reasons, a mix of Japanese and Western facial features is generally considered extremely attractive in Japan, and there’s an increase in the number of Japanese women who believe that the key to creating gorgeous offspring is to have their own “haafu” baby.

In order to satisfy this desire, some women in Japan have taken quite calculated steps to help make this a reality, including purposefully moving into international share houses in order to be in close proximity to Western men.




If you’ve spent anything more than a couple of weeks in Japan, you may be familiar with the concept of the “gaijin house” or “share house.” Getting an apartment in Japan can be a serious hassle often involving coughing up huge sums of non-refundable “key money” and gratuities, begging a guarantor (which usually always has to be a Japanese man) to agree to vouch for your untrustworthy gaijin (foreigner) self, and just generally running around filling in paperwork and getting tangled up in red tape. “Gaijin houses”, on the other hand, are usually straightforward and hassle-free, allowing you to rock up with nothing but a passport and the first month’s rent up front to secure a room for as many months as you like. It’s no surprise that most of the gaijin in Japan use the services of these establishments at some time or other due to the alternatives being almost non-existent. The accommodation is often basic and the facilities are usually shared, which helps to facilitate a fun, college dorm-like environment. If you love socialising, it’s pretty much a dream situation, but if you’re the kind of person who values quiet, cleanliness, and sweet personal space, it’s pretty much a nightmare.

▼ Your typical cosy “gaijin house” has a lot in common with a hostel, and there’s often a communal cooking and eating area.





So, gaijin-friendly share houses are big communal apartments full of people from all over the world, just having fun together in Japan. Basically the perfect place for Japanese people who don’t usually have much contact with foreigners to meet folks from abroad for friendship, English learning, or, it would now seem, husband-hunting. Although traditionally share houses were for the exclusive use of students or foreign residents, recent times have seen more and more of these establishments opening their doors to working Japanese people who are unable or unwilling to commit to an expensive apartment lease, and who quite like the idea of living cheek-by-jowl with non-Japanese folks. While many of those from abroad who frequent gaijin houses are said to be young, English-speaking males (usually in Japan for study or extended travel) there has apparently been a surprising rise in single, working Japanese women who are keen to get a slice of communal living and meet some men from overseas.


One woman was apparently so desperate to acquire a foreign husband for the express purpose of having a mixed-race baby, she eventually decided to take the step of moving into a share house almost exclusively populated by Western men. Livedoor Japan reports that the woman, known only as A-san, described how she dated several men of various nationalities before finally settling on a French man six years her junior. The pair have reportedly been married for two years now and have a one-year-old child.

The phenomenon is not exactly new.

Wait till the sappy cunt finds out she never puts out again.

Didn't read all the thread but yeah race in Brasil is an interesting phenomenon, at least from the point of view of an outsider (me/Canadian). I married a brazilian so have spent a good deal of time there and around them.

There is definitely a white/black divide in terms of class/wealth. The TV novellas all portray this, but then again its sorta true so hard to say which one is leading the other. For sure if you are white you will have more opportunities, but at the same time I never sensed any personal racism. Keep in mind this is outsider's POV.

One thing I see is that the brazilian media is not derogatory to the blacks like in the US. American media too often makes buffoons out of their black characters and stereotypes but the black characters in Brazilian TV (wife watches a lot of novellas) is always respectful, you don't see stupid gangsta rappers or characters with their pants hanging below their ass, lol.. There isn't the stereotypical comedy relief black guy, etc.. characters are always dignified. I don't even think they have any different of an accent (maybe my ears are not good enough to hear)... whereas I always thought it was weird that somehow in the US black people have to pronounce everything differently, lol it seems way overdone to me.

So for sure I see a greater bond/respect with white and black there - Yet, there is a CLEAR wealth divide at the same time. So go figure. And history of slavery ain't that old. So yeah its kind of weird

I also get the impression most Brazilians don't care much for asians, lol. Sad to say but true. I get the impression most brazilians are not too educated about the rest of the world, I've encountered several examples where it seems like they don't even realize that there are many languages/countries/cultures in asia you can't just call them all chinese.
