I'm mostly American. Which is an ethnicity, despite what you've heard. Ethnicity doesn't mean nationality or some sort of blood-relation. In fact, you can have multiple ethnicities, since it's based on the culture, religion, etc. of a single person. And compared to my family and friends, I've realized just how American I am sometimes. LOL |
Hmm, I noticed that as well... I guess there's the incorrect thinking that only Asians and Whites, er, Caucasians watch j-doramas...
I hope you don't consider it an intentional slight, but more of a short-sided view by some people...

Yep. The "others" is outnumbering the other groups...

yay! im an interesting mix! my dad jokingly calls me a mutt.
as for speaking japanese, haha, sadly i can't. when i was there, i could understand a little bit, like, enough to get me by. i regret not putting in more effort considering in my school, we had mandatory japanese culture and language classes and i had a friend, tomoko, who was a penpal (my class had to be penpals with a class from a japanese school) and spoke little english but still, i never really learned. ugh, i really wish i did though.

hmmm... it's weird but i feel the same way. i've been informed by my parents that i'm 100% Chinese but don't know why part of me feels very Japanese. i guess on the outside am Chinese but sometimes feel and think like a Japanese person.

ha, well, as i always told my parents who urged me to learn the language when i was younger, and i never listened -- all you had to do was show me how the girls from there looked like, and i would've been fluent by now!!
