Well, they don´t match mine. My haafu kids are not bullied, and of all the haafus I have met, only told me he was bullied, and that was in one school, and not "incessantly".
So, where do you go from there? Are your 99.9% better than my 99.9%? And even assuming your figure is closer to the reality out there (maybe I have been blessed), how you would change that by loudly demanding that "haafu" should be replaced by "dabbulu" or whatever you deem politically correct?

Where do you get the "99.9%" from? They certainly don´t match with my experience.

Groan.... it is sad to see political correctness rampant around here.
I am glad that at least Jun Hazegawa is level-headed. And pretty to boot.

OMG, Obamanomics in Japan. Don´t we have enough bridges to nowwhere here already?
How about lowering taxes instead, Mr. genius Finance Minister?

I noticed a friend of mine speaks Italian, I asked her why, and she explained, "oh, I am half Italian" (and half British, for that matter).
Now what is the politically correct thing to do? Should I lambast her for being a racist?
Our anti "haafu" brigade here can explain perhaps...

Hey, I´d let her kick me. She is quite a babe, and with an official website titled "fukky web", what is there to complain about?

Many people here have been standing up and point out that it isn´t, inherently. It can be, just like "double" or "better" or whatver silly politically correct replacement you come up with. Depending on the context, any word can be derogatory, but that is a different topic.
Why do you try to re-invent the wheel and just repeat the stereotype, after we have been through all that?

What a waste of Western lifes, on a politically correct mission to do the impossible. It is heart breaking to read about this insanity.

If they are not to expect anything from government, why is he expanding government like there is no tomorrow, claiming that only government is the solution to everything?

Ridiculous posturing. Those bonuses are microscopic compared to the huge amount of government spending and pork in the "stimulus" bill that had to be pushed through in one day.

She looks spunky and good luck to her. About the inevitable "haafu" discussion, my kids are proudly haafu and never had a problem with it. Disclaimer: Central Tokyo and intl. school. I suppose living in the sticks as the only haafu in a the whole school would give a different ambience.
