I had cousins who went to Maryknoll when they were younger. I remember going to the annual carnival with them. It was such a big deal back then, and at that time it seemed to still be primarily JA. Amazing how much can change in just a decade. I was envious because where I lived, I was about the only JA. My experience wasn't like your Mayfield one though. Whites were a minority at my school, we had many Mexican and other Latin Americans, Blacks, Samoans, and Southeast Asians (many from refugee families). There just wasn't hardly any other JAs. It was quite a culture shock for me when I went to San Luis Obispo which was predominantly White.</p> Sat, 17 May 2008 09:34:18 -0700 vkm comment 674 at http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/ja/node/2475 <p><a href="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/sites/www.discovernikkei.org.forum/files/s_fujita90_0.jpg" title="View: s_fujita90.jpg"><img style="width: px; height:px;" src="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/sites/www.discovernikkei.org.forum/files/s_fujita90_0.jpg" class="inline" alt="s_fujita90.jpg" title="s_fujita90.jpg" /></a></p> <h2>Culture Clashes from Coast to Coast</h2> <p>By Simone Momoye Fujita</p> <p>The Academy Award-winning 2004 film <i>Crash</i> was touted as a painfully honest and true-to-life portrayal of race relations in Los Angeles, but when I viewed the film, there was very little about it that resembled the city that my family has called home for several generations.</p> <p><a href="http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/ja/node/2475">続きを読む</a></p> http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/ja/node/2475#comment Little Momo in the Big Apple Fri, 16 May 2008 10:46:23 -0700 editor 2475 at http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum
