[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two friends, each has a mom who is Japanese American, father who is AA.[/quote] How old are the moms? The Japanese tended to look down on darker skinned people, not just blacks but anyone with darker tones because it was sign of someone who worked outdoors. I think the younger generations are more inclusive though.[/quote] Two of my great uncles married Okinawan women during the U.S. occupation. Okinawans were treated badly by other Japanese. The chaplain asked the translator 3 times if one bride knew she was marrying a black man and would be ostracized in the U.S. He said their children would be double pariahs for being the offspring of the descendants of slaves and the people who were responsible for Pearl Harbor. She married my great uncle anyway. A year later, her best friend married his brother. Both couples moved to CA and found people were more open minded there than the chaplain could have envisioned.
