You do realize it's relevant that Nth generation Asian-Americans are often wrongly seen and treated by other Americans (usually white) as completely Asian and not American, right?

[(Anonymous)]

See, but Asian-Americans are not the audience. At all. Asian-Americans are Americans. If they went to Japan, they would be considered Americans. And again, this video was not for Americans. At all. It was for her Japanese audience and they loved it (or ignored it).

You do realize that if Nth generation Asian-Americans went to Japan with the attitude of "I am Japanese just like you" they would be laughed all the way back to the US. That is after they feel insulted that this American was dumb enough to actually say that out loud to their faces.

I think this is true, and of course racism is a problem in America.

However, I think it's irritating when Americans 'identify' as a culture that isn't their own. Even if you are ethnically Japanese, that doesn't mean you are Japanese, or know anything about Japanese culture. Yes, you have a unique identity as an American who is Asian, and you might have some passed-down culture from parents or grandparents or whatever. But you are not Japanese (unless you've spent a significant amount of time living there, are fluent in the language, etc)

No they aren't.

Everyone in America at first generation is accepted as an American, but even whites of the 10th generation still talk about where they came from. It is a constant dual identity for every person of every skin color. Which is why Blacks are so sensitive about the whole thing when, for them to be part of the same conversation, they have to talk about being slaves.

But this whole, you aren't accepting people as American when you ask them about their ancestors, would seriously mean you don't think as a society we even accept whites as Americans.
