Are there any Japanese Americans on /jp/?

If so, how do your parents react to your hobbies and how do you feel about Koreans? I myself am Korean American and my parents don't have a problem, except the standard things 'when are you going to get a girlfriend?' and stuff like that.

kinda lol'd, but the only Korean-American I know hates japs with a passion, and as far as I know never needed to be told to by the internet.

Where I live about 7 out of 10 asians would be Chinese (most of them are from Hong Kong), 2 would be Phillipino, and one would be Korean. There are basically zero Japanese people where I live.

Parents are't openly "I HATE JAPS", but my mom's side of my family (Phillipinos) have degrading stories about Japs and don't look to highly upon them. My Dad dislikes them because apparently they are monopolizing the auto industry...

Koreans are alright. You can't really distinguish them from the Chinese until you hear them speak their language.

I've got a similar situation. Where I live it's 6/10 Chinese, but probably 4 of those 6 from Taiwan. Of the other 4/10 Asians, 2 Veit and 2 Filipino. There is like minor gathering of Japanese people on the central-west side of the city, but it's negligible and you could probably fit them all into one passenger bus. Most of the inter-asian anything here is the older Taiwanese parents being generally butthurt about [insert topic here that their kids refuse to care about].

>> No.1272386

Japanese-American here. Most Japanese-Americans are like third or fourth generation, so they probably have very different experiences.
Parents think spedning most of your time on front of the computer is a sign that someone is going to become a hikikomori. Interesting trivia from this: the word for "good for nothing bum" is "gokutsubushi".
Parents don't really care about Koreans or Chinese, they're everywhere around here. Personally, I don't really care either, though I like to troll Koreans by mentioning Dokdo in casual conversation. In reality I don't give a shit over two little rocks. The only thing that ever bothers me about some Koreans is that some of the ones I've met are sort of hardcore religious; like the kind that go on religious retreats and don't like to "take the Lord's name in vain" crap. Lighten up.

Korean-American here. I've got Chinese-American, Japanese-American, Filipino-American, and Indian-American friends. We all laugh at how we're supposed to hate each other because of internet racists. I honestly don't gave a crap about the Liancourt rocks. That's right, it's the Liancourt Rocks, not Dokdo or Takeshima. I'm using the original geographic term that was used to describe those rocks before the retarded Dokdo-Takeshima flame war. My mom and dad don't hate Japanese, they just don't like me marrying one. LOL, I asked them,"Then, what about a Zainichi Korean in Japan? They practically are Japanese except their ethnic origins." They didn't know how to respond to that one...

Cuz Japan stamped out Christianity during the Tokugawa Shogunate because they were afraid that missionaries were the advance agents of European colonialism. The Japanese had heard from the Protestant English and Dutch about how the Catholic Spanish and Portuguese conquered the Americas, coastal areas of Africa and Asia partly due to missionaries and their meddling with domestic politics.

Funny, where I live, the Koreans outnumber the Chinese at least 5 to 3. Never have I encountered a situation like this.

>>1272418
This is actually a good question. Why is it that with the massive amounts of money the missionary poured into other parts of Asia and the equally heavy presence of Americans in Japan and Korea, Korea ended up with a highest percentage of Christians?

My guess is that Korea lacked its own centralized native religion and decided to be Christfags instead and their natural RAGE took over from there.

Before the internets, this was happening. You always had the surly Vietnamese types who hated the Chinese, but built Pho shops at the edge of Chinatown because it was the easiest place to pick up the ingredients they needed.

Jappo from before here, you guys really don't know too much about East Asian religious history. Neither China, Korea, nor Japan had strong centralized native religion; Chinese folk religion, Korean folk religion, and even Shintoism are just glorified forms of animism. Some people think that Shintoism was a state religion headed by the Emperor; while the Emperor was considered a living god, Shintoism itself was very shamanistic and loosely organized before the arrival of Buddhism in Japan, and the concept of an organized religion headed by the Emperor was a rather recent invention of the post-Meiji Restoration government to encourage nationalism.

Christianity actually reached Japan before it reached Korea, and while it had sympathy in Korea from some of the aristocratic class, it never really grew huge until the annexation of Korea by Japan in 1905. There were suspicions of the Buddhist groups collaborating with the Japanese, and Christianity, which was heavily discouraged in both Japan and it's colonies, was seen as a dissident religion and became connected with the struggle for independence. That's why 50% of Koreans are Christian now. Why they're so fanatical about it, I have no idea.

And on the whole marrying outside your race thing, my parents would probably just be happy if I ever got married.

I'm Japanese-American born in Hawaii, like many of us are
I don't spend that much time here so my parents don't care, and they don't know anyway cause I live alone now

I don't feel either way about Koreans, they seem like regular people to me. I work with a few Korean guys and it's all courtesy between us, no politics. I've been in some awkward conversations with Chinese though, but that's usually new immigrants from the mainland. With Chinese-Americans I get along fine, a lot of my friends are from Hong Kong.

I'm Japanese-American. I don't mind Koreans specifically... it's just other Americans in general I can't stand. My parents were rather laxed as opposed to the stereotypical strict asian parent, although they still wanted me to go outside more frequently. I was a 3 year hiki at one point.

Japanese American here. I am the black sheep, so my family doesn't give two shits about me. That's the problem with being higher than 3rd gen; the "foreign" culture values wear off, like close family ties. I can't remember any of my extended family's names, and not a single birthday for any of my family.

I don't particularly dislike Koreans, no more than anybody else at any rate-- unless I hear the standard "[country] is bad!" without a solid reason, but I don't think I've ever heard anything like that outside of the internet.

>> No.1276343

My mom is Korean, except she defies the whole "Korean mother" stereotype. She's pretty easygoing. A nice person. My dad, on the other hand...but he's not East Asian at all, so it doesn't really matter.

My parents have never done stuff like wonder when I'm going to get a girlfriend. There's never been any of that stereotypical "are you gay" stuff...heck, I actually had to make my dad tell me about the birds and the bees.

Friends, friends...my mom's friends with a lot of Asian people. Not just Asian people, I mean. I mean, she's friends with Asian people as well as people who aren't Asian. Not just Korean, either. Let me think...we were friends with a Japanese family called Moriguchi, and then they moved away. And there that other friend of hers, but I don't know her nationality because she's married...

As for me, I've had Japanese, Korean, and Chinese friends, as well as friends who aren't Asian.
