Do Japanese Americans living in California NOT share Japanese with Americans?

Question

I feel that these people just hang out with eachother...and whenever they go out of their Japanese group... they turned into americanized people and don't want to even share Japanese with others.

Do Japanese Americans feel much more than hispanics like they HAve to act white when they speak to other Americans and forget all their roots?

Answer 1

Asians in America just can't win when it comes to how they act.
If an Asian acts "too white", then they are called white-washed, bananas, or twinkies.
If an Asian acts "too black", then they are "blackanese".
If they act TOO ASIAN, then they are FOBs (Fresh Off the Boat)

I don't know why people have so many words to describe Asians...

The Japanese people you are talking about are not turning their backs on their heritage, they are ASSIMILATING. Anyone who moves to a different country needs to learn how the local people act, speak, and think. It opens them up to experience more and have more opportunities. Hispanics who do not learn English in America are NOT assimilating, and they often get stuck working low-paying jobs, because employers of high-paying jobs need their workers to know English. Also, most Hispanics live in the south and the southwest, which is near Mexico and the Caribbean, so they are connected more to their culture naturally. Japan is not close enough to do this, so they are on their own.

Answer 2

Why should they share with you? What are they going to share with you anyway, their anime and mangas, you racist prick! Last time I checked America was a free country, if people want to stay in their cliques and behave a certain way, so be it, you redneck jerky. And it ain't about acting white it's about being perceived as educated, like most Japanese are, compared to spics, who for the most part are only good for picking lettuce. You leave us Asians alone, we are clandestine, F()CK YOU!!!
