A question for "haffu"...?

Question:


Just out of curiosity, what features did you inherit from your parents? Do you look more like your Japanese half, or your other half? And ultimately, do you consider yourself Japanese, or not? Kind of a strange question, but I'm just curious. :P

Answer:


That isn't really a polite word anyone should use. I have a male friend who has a white father and a Japanese mother. He looks white. I have another friend who is married to a Japanese lady. Their daughter looks Japanese. So I'm sure there's no set answer for this.
What they consider themselves may depend on where they live. My friend here is 100 % American and has no interest in his Japanese half.
