Public views on marriage with non-Caucasian (Japanese)
(Japanese) Even after I came to America I was asked the question. Issei old men and women, all of them were really nice people, but they would say, “You are such a nice girl.” They thought I was a kid. When I went to the Japan Town in San Francisco for shopping where I could buy some Japanese food, they would ask me where I came from. So I would respond, “I’m not a kid. I already have two kids of my own.” They would be surprised. As we talk more, they would ask, “Why in the world did you marry a black man?”
