It comes up because my gf's family is hypocritical group of racists. They aren't too happy w/ their daughter dating people from the group of Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese. Apparently they wouldn't be happy w/ white or black, but perhaps less unhappy. The whole thing doesn't make any sense, obviously it has to do w/ the imperialist days when Japan controlled these asian countries, but does it make any sense that those who were slave-owners should be more resentful than those who were slaves?
I suppose its the same as black-n-white america. Blacks should be (and are) unhappy but sure enough the white supremicsts are the ones trying to keep their white-race clean by not dating "down" w/ the black people. And seems the Japanese have the same idea of not dating "down" w/ races of formerly conquered and enslaved koreans and chinese. Geez its sad to think someone I'd meet has family as old minded and primative as this... but I think I'm not aware of just how stale in "tradition" and closed thinking Japan is.
Well thats why the gaijin come to this country and (figuratively) rape and pillage it for all its worth and bag out once their contacts are done. Its fun to play, but when it comes down to it, this country has tradition and mentality locked in from thousands of years ago, and its hard to break the mold. There are definitely very progressive families out there, but the #'s are less than the norm it'd seem.
Yep thats the type of stress I have for no reason. Just annoys me and makes me feel sorry for these people who have parents who are so controlling. My cousin is dating a girl whose family seems the same way. So restrictive.. that they have no choices. Then the parents get on their back about not getting married. Its like, wtf?? You told me to break up w/ all the guys I wanted to marry of course nobody is left. Lightning doesn't strike 3 times for most people.
