Hi. I am of a female adult of mixed heritage: Korean Japanese. I am mixed Japanese on my mother's side. It has truly been a "unique" experience to say the least.

I often feel I am the only person of such combination in the United States. I would like to hear from others like me, especially females.

I am also an adult Japanese female of mixed origin, but my mother is full Japanese (with some Korean in her) and my father is American.

To those who are mixed heritage Japanese like me, are you offended by the usage of bamboo for landscape, interior and window decoration? I am. I'd be interested in hearing what others think.

^ No.

The bamboo theme which is used as landscape, interior and window decoration is a bad reminder I think. Being mixed heritage, I personally find it insulting.
azndood
what does the bamboo mean?
younghee
You can see it as meaning different things. For me it symbolizes separation between the two: Korea and Japan.

Koreans like to use the bamboo with negative connotation. It's like from the parable of the bible: the tree that does not bear fruit and must be cut down and burned. I especially resent seeing the bamboo and chopped tree theme being used as landscape, interior and window decoration, because it is a bad reminder of past grudges and encourages hate crime against people of mixed heritage Japanese.

I have also seen the bamboo theme being used in the US. It was not until 1967 that the US Supreme Court made the laws forbidding interracial marriage unconstitutional.

To my dismay I have seen this used prevalently wherever I go, ironically throughout Japan. Perhaps the bamboo tree has a different meaning to the native people of Japan. Perhaps they use it without any meaning or symbolism, and just as Asian decoration.

I did not know that...

I have bamboo sticks all around my house. They're pretty good decorations once they bloom.

Yes i too am a mongrel.

You see in Japan they call me "fukinishi aso $hitzu kamikaze wwaaa" which means "samurai who lost his short sword in bucket of kimchi pussy".

But i reply with "$hite! $hite! peru haburu banzai!" meaning "fu-k you fu-king conservative jealous @$$hole because if my dad wants to screw around in the kabuki then he can fu-king screw in the kabuki".

I am not yet a female but with the ancient Japanese art of Shiatsu i shall transform myself into a lucious exotic geisha".

You're definitely not part of my background or social class. Not to insult you, but you sound like the absolute scum of the earth!

Note, Japan has five stratas in their society. A young woman's (ojoosan's) status depends on her birth and her father. In Japanese linguistics, there are five ways to address someone using honorifics. But the way one speaks is largely influenced by the way we are spoken to by our mothers. That's why people ask about the mother's native tongue.

I'm korean and whenever I go over to a Korean persons house, they almost always have a pot growing bamboo.
younghee
I think mixed heritage is the best, because it lets you see things from both perspectives.

Mixed heritage people are also blessed with good looks and intelliegence.

younghee,

You wrote about Christianity before. It’s getting an important issue we cannot miss it out.
Ducky
Here in Japan, there’s a huge religious pressure group named Soka Gakkai.
It is no problem if religions are to cure and heal pains of a soul and to build inner strength.
But in reality, people are used to help defending and extending the group’s interests that are against the interests of ordinary citizens.
Ducky
You guys can find English articles about the Moonies.
