how far back can one say to be a certain ethnicity. speaking generations. 3 or 4 generations back or only direct parents? I learned it was my grandfather who was half Japanese but strictly wants to be known as Korean. I still consider myself Korean/Mexican primarily as i am not sure if I can claim to be Japanese.

Its good to hear that in japan its tolerated.

I guess as long as you feel it's relevant and you sincerely identify with a certain ethnicity or nationality then it's your right to claim it.

Its not so much the relevancy of it, its just helps me understand my ancestry =D. It really puts a new spin on that whole "Korea doesn't like Japan and vice versa" thing for me though.

Anyone else have experience with mixed race children or being mixed themselves?

I see mixed raced kids all the time in school. And I'm dating a Japanese woman. No kids though :-/

Ahhhh that's so cute! I hope that happens to me me soon. Except...you know, the other way around.

Congratulations on 8 years, by the way. That's incredible

Really? I was sort of under the impression that marriage was supposed to be a lifetime commitment...

Thank you for the congratulations though. We`re in our 9th year now.

That's exactly what it's supposed to be. But unfortunately it's drifted away from that.
