208445, 'Japanese' is not a racial identity. Posted by SoWhat, Tue Jun-16-15 02:17 PM
it's a cultural, national and ethnic identity.
she can be culturally and ethnically Japanese but racially white. i dunno.
she'd have a place in this discussion if she wanted to identify racially as Asian though she has European/white racial ancestry. but her Japanese ethnicity doesn't necessarily mean she would say her race is Asian.
