\n“Nobody is half a person. Mixed-culture children are better caller nibai (\uff12\u500d\u3001double) as some already call themselves.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Being born from a mixed race doesn’t make any person less of a human. In fact, he\/she may even have the best of both worlds. The person that he\/she becomes is dependent on the society that surrounds him\/her. While parenting is very important, how other people would treat him\/her would also be vital in his\/her identity formation.”<\/p>\n
