私は子供の頃から、自分がいわゆる「アメリカ人」に見えないことを自覚していました。そのため、時々、自分がアメリカ人ではないと感じることがありました。そのようなことを誰かに面と向かって言われた経験はありませんが、白人ではないアメリカ人であれば、このような感覚に陥ったことがあると思います。また、子供だった私は、自分はたまたまアメリカに住んでいる日本人なんだという感覚もありました。ですので、7歳の時、家族と初めて日本を訪れることになった時、私はとても楽しみにしていました。日本へ行け…

The People I've Slept With: The Movie

2010年4月15日 • コウジ・スティーブン・サカイ

When Quentin Lee (director/producer), Stanley Yung (producer), Karin Anna Cheung (the star), and I (writer/producer) met the first time, we knew right away that we wanted to make an Asian American date movie where an Asian American male and an Asian American female actually fall in love. The People I’ve Slept With is what came from that first meeting. The People I’ve Slept With is a sexy romantic comedy about a promiscuous young woman (Karin Anna Cheung of Better Luck …

What Would You Do?

2009年5月7日 • コウジ・スティーブン・サカイ

I am a coward. It’s easy to fight racism when it’s in the abstract, but it’s so much harder to do it when it smacks you in the face. I was smacked and didn’t do anything. Actually, I just ran away. Okay, let me explain. I recently had a phone meeting with a person who wanted to represent my writing. It was the opportunity that I had been waiting for for a long time. It was going to be my …

We All Look Alike

2009年4月2日 • コウジ・スティーブン・サカイ

Do all Asians look alike? Where does such a stereotype come from? I’ve recently spent a lot of time studying other Asian folks—especially Japanese people—to see if there are any similarities between them and me. Personally, I think I look pretty damn unique—and handsome. My mother always tells me so at least! The other day I decided to look into this. A quick Google search brought me to a lot of sites. My favorite was a Yahoo Answers webpage where …

Embarrassment

2009年2月27日 • コウジ・スティーブン・サカイ

I admit that I cringe whenever I see or hear of an Asian American or Japanese American doing something stupid, embarrassing, or downright immoral and unlawful. I always feel as though it reflects badly on myself. Like when that crazy Asian American kid shot up his college in Virginia. Or that Japanese American guy that was involved in the Barry Bonds homerun baseball lawsuit. Or even something smaller, the bad Asian driver or the Japanese tourist taking photos of everything. …

Names & Inaugurations

2009年1月20日 • コウジ・スティーブン・サカイ

Names have power. Names convey a message about who you are, where you come from, and has at times in our history meant that you were either on our side or “theirs.” My name is Koji Steven Sakai, what does that say about me? Like a lot of kids, I dreamed of one day becoming President and ruling the country and all my minions with an iron fist. But I wasn’t a stupid kid. I knew my foreign sounding first …

I Think My Grandfather Was a Spy

2008年7月10日 • コウジ・スティーブン・サカイ

I think my nisei grandfather was a spy for Japan during the Second World War. I know that’s a loaded thing to say in the Japanese American community, but the more I find out, the more certain I become of it. Let me start from the beginning... Over the last few years I have been doing research on my family. Specifically, what happened to us during WWII. It started when I requested my grandfather’s papers from the National Archives. My …

I’m a Racist

2008年5月23日 • コウジ・スティーブン・サカイ

A couple of weekends ago I found out I was a racist. Not the white pillow case over my head kind but something quieter, more insidious. It’s made me rethink my own racial sensitivity and question the times where I’ve felt racially offended. But let me start from the beginning... I was walking home with my dog when an African American man started talking to me. He was nice and when he turned onto my street I asked him if …

An Asian American President?

2008年3月12日 • コウジ・スティーブン・サカイ

This year’s presidential election is exciting because for the first time in our history, a woman or a person of color has a real shot of being President of the United States. I didn’t think it would happen in my lifetime. All of this excitement has got me thinking: Could an Asian American ever become president? The cynical (smart money) answer is no. I think to the vast majority of people in the United States, Asian Americans are still martial …
