She’s Filipino by birth and culture, dad was Japanese. She won’t say a single word against the Japanese unless you really drill into her opinions, simply won’t talk about it. But JFC does she hate them, deep down. It’s funny that her sisters live in Japan ATM. :) They don’t seem to care.
But I get it, deep down. Japan raped her country in WWII, literally and figuratively, and while she’s ignorant of modern Western politics, she know plenty about the Japanese using babies for bayonet practice. Have to admit, I wondered if her dad raped her mom.
My father died of mesothelioma sucking down asbestos while fighting in the Pacific Theatre. Watched him suffer to death for two years as a child. You might think I would hold a grudge. I do not, history to me.
All that to say, I don’t blame her and I’m fine with her prejudice. OTOH, she refuses to do cute shit like wear a kimono or chops sticks in her hair. Fuck me, I signed up for an Asian chick! (That is an attempt at humor for the autistic among you.)
Thoughts?
EDIT: Y’all really missing the premise of this comm.
Vote the opposite of the norm.
she dint even live through ww2, why is she hating from before she was born? i get boomers would be upset, but her?
i would be concerned about her prejeduce? why not question her about it, where is she getting info from.
shes also japanese, what does she say about her ancestry, does she hate her dad?
All questions I have. She’s very closed mouth and I don’t wish to pry on what is obviously a touchy subject.
In any case, it has zero effect in the real world. She would never breathe a word of hate or act racist towards a Japanese person. (And they don’t really exist around here.)
