Man, I am not sure where you guys live, but no one snitches or tells on anyone over here. Hell, the JP are worthless and will only do something if there is a yen in it for them. Good on that guy for holding that dude up for stealing that ladies wallet.

@HonestDictator - do you honestly think there are normal girls here that could properly fit into that costume?
@LoveUSA - stop hating.

@dreamland- too true. The JP over here are using "eco-police cars" and they hate them and rarely use them because they cannot afford to keep changing the battery. The only thing they ever did right was to stop using that damn car.
Why make "eco" crap when they still have stuff they can not properly recharge or get rid of. Just trying to make a buck. Where is Leo when you need him. (sarcasm)

limbo-dude...the subject is about the word hafu right and if it is acceptable or not. You and your kids are not cool about it and most half's that I know and some people on this site are fine with it.
Bringing up stuff that has nothing to do with the subject at hand does not help. But if you want to go there, we could go on about a bunch of derogatory terms that have nothing to do with the word hafu. So is derogatory labelization okay? No. Is hafu presented that way, maybe by some people, but again you would be generalizing if you did that. There is a lot more hate and problems in the world to have the word hafu be that big a problem.

limbo-so what you are saying is all of Japan thinks this way that is why these few need to stand up? You are generalizing. I think you do not mean all of Japan, and that is why I siad broaden your thoughts. Looks like you also agree with my point of profiling.
Fishy said it best: Having said that, I also understand what limbojapan says about SEA, Filipinos and some other non white people often go through.. they don't get the same "envious" eyes from Japanese compared to those haafu white kids. But that doesn't have much to do with the word haafu..
So please get back on subject of the word at hand.
But I guess you cannot get back there is because the only way you take half is in the negative. Two halves make a whole, four quarters make and a whole and etc etc. The only person who take away from you or your kids being a whole is yourselves. If you let someone else do it, because they did not say it in a cute way...sad.
malprops had something good to say too: In my experience, parents of us mixed individuals try to be OVERLY empathetic, totally ignoring how WE feel, what WE encounter, and how WE think. By trying to be sympathetic to something they'll never experience first hand they tend to attack what needs no attacking. My own parents are just as guilty. I think you should read this outload and listen to what he is saying, it might sink in and hit home.

As you said-if you are a mix of SEA, Black, Arabic, Persian, Indian, etc.. then it is used almost always with a negative overtone. So these kids are targeted to recieve or called something in a negative tone. Maybe I missed my mark on the profiling, but it sure sounded like these kids are always gonna be seen in a negative light.
I really do not care where you came from or where you are from, but you first go on to say that your children thought they were Japanese period. Same rights. Good stuff on your kids part.
The reason they took offense to it was because it was not said in a "cute" manner...seriously? Then it is mean when it is used as a casual, but it hurts your feelings when I do not an emphasis of it being in a positive light instead of as a regular word or description. Wow.
Unfortunately, there are those of us half-breeds, some of us mixed with more than half, yes meaning me in particular that have no problem with the word. Sure, there are some people who may use it in a negative light, but growing up, I got taught there were some people who were gonna give me crap cause I was different. Sorry that you could not teach your kids that and that they do not know how to brush it off and turn a simple word into a derogatory one. I like how you only use what you have been exposed to. Try getting some more exposure so you can get a broader picture. How about you go by "other" on that checklist and go on about your day.

I am with you on this one ritalynn. Dude was not acting up. The fans were chanting for him and he jumped on stage. He could have been escorted off and released...but arrested? Not sure what all the hate is for, guess some people just have to get their hate out.

Wow? Seriously? How dumb do you think they are? She obviously went to a market where she knew she was going to get some fast cash. She did not, for all we know, have any sexual relations. She did not have to mess with Yaks or get a loan that she had to worry about paying back. No worries about STD's or having to deal with prostitution. She knew what she wanted and did her thing. Your ideals may not agree with what she did, as I am sure that goes for most people on this site, but to call her dumb/ignorant/whatever is ignorance itself. There are plenty of 18-year-olds that are doing different things (legal/illegal) and getting by. Not sure when you left under your parent's wing but I am sure you did know head from your tail.
