"Haafu" is not derogatory in Japan but I had blonde hair and am "half" and had a lot of negative comments growing up in a city (not Tokyo). It was mainly from mothers of other kids though and a teacher who said I would need to die my hair dark to fit in. The bullying wasn't violent as it was in the UK. After a certain age being 'half' becomes a positive thing because we're blessed with beautiful features of both races..usually! But I am not impressed with Jun..brought up in New Hampshire and Hawaii and went to an International school in Japan. Sounds like she could have done more with herself and she wants to 'help kids in Africa'..oh please
