Jeffery, I would never EVER condon slapping a young child in that manner or, anyone else for that matter. My comment was just on the story viewpoint as a whole. However, now that I am engaged in this, my real concern would be the child's view of this incident. It will undoubtably leave a mark in his mind. I am sure we have all had altercations with different races, and hopefully understand that it's not always representative of an entire race of people. (The author did mention that others were kind to him) I certainly hope that it will not be a deciding factor on his opinion (20 years or so down the road of life) of Asian women (& Japan) as a whole and, understand that it was a single deplorable incident. Having grown up up in the deep south of the US, I have seen 1st hand how the seeds of hatred and racism are planted way to easily. I would wish that the child understands that much. Understanding that, hopefully, would stem some form of future violence or, unsolicited gunfire, as we are so (unfortunately) used to here in the US.

Yes, perception is everything. There are usually 3 sides to every story. Yours, theirs, and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Given his recent status in the US shortly before his passing, the response seems quite amazing.
Glad to see there are still FZ fans out there!!
