Great!


        Mr. Liu. I like China. While it is true that here in Pgh, the
situation of ethnicity is alot slower than in the West. But, since I
feel that you are a perfect person I want to talk about the beautiful
Chinese that I've met. Most of the Chinese here at Carnegie Mellon Univ.
comes from Schools like Fudan, Qinghua, Beijing and my one best friend
comes from one of the best(I should say the best) Medical School in
China. I love my Shanghi freinds, Hongda, Sun Zhe
and Ken Fu and Peter. I've personally reseached for personal reasons
many of the 
of great beautitudes of China. And, don't let me start talking about the food.
Dduring, my undergraduate study in the Fine Arts I loved contemporary
Chinese Artist. Since I've graduated with a B.F.A., I've had God's Grace
to have been excepted in the Masters Program in Civil Engineering. It is
true that the Japanese young culture is spoiled. I would even go as far
as to say on the egde
of an abyss when it comes to thinking about other who are less fortunate
than they. I feel this is because they don't usually feel they are in a
bad position.
Like I was, I tried Wasada and Tokyo National U. for Fine arts and
Music. But, when it came to being sensative to the Korean or other
"Japanese Citizen who've
had their Heritage stripped away" I did not care. When I came to
America(in 1987) I didn't as most of the young Japanese in America I
conformed. Conformity
to the Japanese is like rice is to Asia. But, when I woke up and saw how
the black was treated. I drew a direct correlation to my actions in
Nippon, no matter how subtil or in direct towards the various
ethnicities there. I could not believe or rather accept that I was that
horrible. but, I was. I was a stupid boy then. But, it was people like
the Black and Chinese and Korean that helped me to live. How do I repay
these people? They didn't want me to. They wanted me to feel equal to
them. Later, I would like to personally write to you about the many
happinesses that I've with my Chinese friends. And, of course about
China.

           Mr.Ishikawa, I knew what I've said. How long do you have to
live in America to realized what a yellow nigger means?  How long do a
Japanese have to live in Nihon to know the Baraku and how they are
treated? Or, a Korean. Sure, I
have no doubt that most of your friends are white. That's what you perfer. But,
what I am more interested in is your statement about how "the
educational tendencies of blacks and Hispanics are less than the that of
Whites. Don't be a stupid fool. It's just like us. If our society(Nihon)
makes it very difficult
for the Baraku, Chinese and Korean; Sure they'll have the tendency to be less
in someway. You suggest that it is more " Very Pleasant" in the San Fran
bay Area. I'm trying very hard to not get to angry at this insult. I
find that you take it for granted that I'm rich so that I could, leT
say, avoid comfrontation. Aviod, reality. How dare you expect me to act
homogeneous. You have alot to learn my friend. You should try to respect
more of American's culture. Eat this 
Thanksgivings Dinner with one of these less educated black family homes, You
might learn something. Go to a Hispanic families church on Christmas(or
anytime for that matter)and see the tendency of the uneducated as they
pray for you to the lord Christ Jesus. Go to the a Mohawk reservation in
Canada and see how pleasant less-pleasant can be.



Hi Marco,

           Your engish is not bad at all. You probably are bilingual
that's great. I never get bored with conversating with humans. I like
you. And, I feel that you are very sensative about the survival and
equality of all humans. This is a great attribute. You should never be
ashamed it what you have to express, Especially in english(because
that's the hardest{maybe} for you right now). I like you! Your words are
like music to my heart. They give me the confidence
to give the Baraku people a Carngie-Mellon University education for
free. Keep it up my friend. Ah, English Takes Time to Learn. I mean Real
Time. Be patient.
I hope that the situation in Italia gets better. In my opinion, the
recent reason the Germans and Italians feel bad toward each other is the
current economical/psychological condition of Europe. It's certainly
wild that you told me this my friend. The German, the Japanese and the
Italians do most certainly
have a historical background together. I hope that the cultural tensions
There gets better for everyone. Maybe the tension between North and
South are economical. It always has been in their history! I especialy
hope that it gets better for you. I like you. I see that you are in
school: work hard my friend.
And, don't be intimidated. Think of your family and the Africans they
always have it the worst. WORK HARD and PLAY LATER. see ya. I like you.

              Thank you for your deep concern. I, however, do not see
myself as 
regreting the bad experiences that I've had. They made me a more
truthful and honest man. As you may have read from above. Being in a
"West Coast City" is not 
that interesting to me. The way I see it, it would depend on me and a
status quo. No, it is better for me to see the racism up front. So, I
could better deal with it. Yes, I think that is better. I'd rather be
called a nigger to my face
that for me to give my business to a person who's smiling  the word Chink. 
       It seems as though you feel that you are different. Did you try
to located a Black "American" while you were in Japan. They are there
you know. When I used the word Whiteboys it's the same as Yellowboys.
You, obviously, take it to be racist. Is the color white less offensive
than black or yellow or more.
You, being  of the "fairer skin", shouldn't think that "All" Japanese
consider that the color of a white person is a valid reason for more
favorable treatment. Your indirect ploy is note worthy but it's old
Dude. Calling me a racist. Ha. You should "Clean up" your Priorities.
What school do you go to here. Is that Howard University. No, I don't
think so. Washington State. Is this way you say that I should come to
the West Coast. Because that's where you are. Nah, the  East Coast is
much better, much better. Washington State. Maybe, those Japanese
have Chopstick tongue. "Yellowman speak with chopstick tongue"!

Peace all.
