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?
