When I was living in Japan I saw a TV interview with a New Zealand woman who said she does not say her children are "half", she said that implied something was missing, she used the term " double" as her children were exposed to two cultures. I liked that perspective very much.

@destroyermaker 9 күн бұрын

This was depicted in the show "The Sympathizer". The mother says to her son he's not half of anything, he's two of everything

My children aren't half or double anything, they just are. That works for them, and it works for everyone around them too.They didn't have any choice in who their parents are.

@anastasiya256 Күн бұрын

That’s not how it works in reality, though 😂😅 Even in terms of absorbing culture - as you’ve seen from this video, people can’t learn both cultures at a 100%. That’s because people have a finite amount of time, especially the formative time of their childhood. They can choose to spend their time on learning and practicing one culture or the other, but they can’t get double the time to spend an equal amount of time on learning both.

I once visited a friend Paris, a Japanese woman who moved from Japan to France to marry her French boyfriend. One morning I met her at her apartment and she spoke to me in English which was almost perfect. My friend, Akiko, was straightforward to me like many Americans are with their friends. Then we went to a cafe and she spoke to the staff in absolutely perfect French (French speakers think French is her native language) and her body language and manner was a bit more soft and feminine than when she spoke to me in English. Finally, she had to go pay her rent to her landlord who was an older Japanese man. When she conversed with him it was like a bodily transformation. Akiko was very, very soft spoken and she even seemed somehow smaller in stature. When we left I said "what was that?!" and Akiko said "I know. It is so strange but with older Japanese males I am expected to act a bit subservient.."

I lived in over 20 different countries however none of them were my home country (Cyprus). Because of this I never felt strange at all one way or the other. I never felt the need to belong anywhere because everywhere I was, I was not originally from that country so very quickly especially growing up I just got used to being a local wherever I was. When I lived in Japan, I loved it because if you actually spoke Japanese to people they really appreciated it. I think Tokyo is a little different - I prefer the smaller cities and the villages, especially the villages, regard anyone not from the exact same place as a foreigner anyway and hence its actually MUCH easier to get close to people. It might seem paradoxical but the point is, if you regard everyone as a foreign then you are much more open simply by necessity.

Hi 👋🏽 I appreciate this video, thanks for sharing. I begin to get emotional as I noticed the three that you interviewed didn’t feel inclusion from either side of their ethnicity. And I’m proud they took the initiative to travel to Japan. That way they could gain a deeper connection and understanding of their selves and their culture 💚 I would like to hear/see more Japanese travel out and more travel in, business is a good opportunity to gain the experience of worlds. I’m praying for Japan 🩵 my son will some day visit there 🥰 maybe a family trip ☺️

Great Video once again Takashiii. Regarding the comment about friends being denied service in Japan... I think there is a misunderstanding out there with regard to "being denied service" in Japan. Where it can happen is in areas that are related to more adult entertainment, e.g. specific types of niche bars or places that typically have Japanese men as clients in the entertainment / nightlife districts of a city. Normal every day places open to the general public this is not an issue.

Thank you for your interesting show. I like the way you let people talk for a while and really listen to them, to let them express themselves. I was in Tokyo in 1985 and half-American, half-Japanese fashion models were considered cool. Although sometimes I was not able to identify them, my Japanese "family" always could. I'm sorry for them that this kind of international cooperation (having children together) results in their feeling like outsiders wherever they go. But sometimes the outsiders have a special ability to really see the main society more clearly.

I like this series of videos especially hearing about their backgrounds and hearing how bilingual they are. Being of Chinese descent I grew up in the UK and feel more British than Chinese and can associate with the sentiments that your interviewees bring out. Japan is also one of the places that I have great admiration of and have visited 3 times and the idea of teaching English there is tempting.

I have 2 nieces who are white/Japanese and grew up in Japan. They are currently in their 30s. One still lives in Japan, the other in New Zealand. I always wondered what their experience was. Okay, I get the “ask them” suggestion. I will do that.

japan & usa are both very racist countries. for asian/caucasian mixed ppl, they probably have a better time living in central asian countries. at least your appearance doesnt stand out. everyone around u looks like asian/caucasian mixes....😎😎😎

i think half japanese people are so beautiful. its a shame they dont feel that way. as someone who grew up mixed mostly white and black o could not see the beauty in myself either. im glad its changing though. every race and mix has beauty in it.

No, we've seen pretty ugly ones too. It really depends on their parents.

I moved to England from Scotland when I was 29, I still have my Scottish accent according to my English friends although I don’t hear it. When I go to Scotland my family and friends comment on my posh English accent again I don’t hear it but regardless I never have any problems in either country.
