He should come to Sydney where we have thousands of Asian Australians and Eurasian folk. No-one even looks twice and people would never even think to ask such rude confronting questions. Our daughter has dozens of Eurasian and Asian friends too, and has done since she was in kindergarten. I feel so sorry for this poor guy, would love to tell him that I ADORE green tea washing down azuki bean mochi YUM ! And I am a SCOTTISH Australian! Imagine Haggis with mochi beans and sticky rice washed down with green tea and Glenfiddich Whiskey...Now thats a thought!

Fake nails stickers & jangles on mobile phones are common to teenage girls here in Australia too:cjangles are purchased from those Squiggle & Hello Kitty shops. Don't blame the girls who can't converse at an adult level:blame rather the education system where chalk and talk is the norm & the follow on after him custom is entrenched firmly.If it was 'COOL' in Japan to be a female nerd,at the top of your grade as long as you were opinionated,independent,could analyse with good judgement & debate & fight loudly against all forms of injustice as it is here in Australia THEN you might get rid of the shut up, sit down, and follow after me syndrome that females live happily with in Japan.
