[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a neighbor who was pale skinned, blond hair, blue eyed. Father was japenese and mom was [b]American[/b]. Her daughter (whose dad was American) looked far more mixed.

What do you mean by "American"? I am ethnically Chinese and 100% "American." American does NOT equal white. [/quote]

So many people trying to start arguments on this thread instead of sticking to the original question![/quote]

NP.  It's a casually racist thing to say -- to imply that people of Asian ethnic origin are somehow not [b]really[/b] American.  note that when speaking of people of ?German, Scottish, Dutch heritage, you don't call them "German" or "Scottish" the way PP called her neighbor's father"Japanese."  You say they are of German descent.  You don't call into question their status as Americans.

PP was correct to call the other poster on it.  And you, PP, are offensive in dismissing the racism.

Or was the father Japanese, as in from Japan, but an American citizen?   Sorry to break it to you, but someone who is Japanese and from Japan can still be an American.   There's this little process called naturalization.    
The neighbors father was actually Japanese. From Japan. Christ. [/quote]

And the mom was "American" meaning she was ethnically Japanese, born in the US?
