Btw, when a family member of mine was being brought up in Japan (Hokkaido), kids made fun of him and asked him: anata wa nani-jin?
His answer: ninjin desu.
Smart kid, he's had great sense of humor since then.
I've heard that one but not the apology(news to me). It makes me think of Cotillard's comments about 9/11 right after winning her Oscar for Piaf.
(or something along those lines). W/ever
@kalavinka: that's a tough way to be brought up but not unheard of. You will find that others in a similar position to yours, even as adults, cannot get used to the stares, and there's no reason why they should, non-half foreigners as well.
Not to diminish your childhood plight.…

one of my faves (the unsuccessful villain) Salieri, in Amadeus, played by F. Murray Abraham.
Can't remember the characters' names: Jennifer J. Leigh in RoomMate, Rebecca de Mornay in The hand that rocks the cradle, Kathy Bates in Misery

Movie: Gladiator
Role: Commodus
Actor: Joaquin Phoenix
and as Oliver Reed starred and unfortunately passed away during the filming of Gladiator, I'd like to add his role as Bill Sikes in Oliver Twist.
