1st sentence appended a prepositional phrase at the end of the first sentence diff and on further reflection that addition was deleted diff Japanese Americans are Americans of Japanese heritage either born in Japan or their descendents I ve restored those excised words I think the qualifier phrase is necessary An Issei Japanese American currently serves in the U S House of Representatives Congresswoman Mazie Hirono and when I saw this trivial change I thought of her immediately Although there is nothing incorrect in the phrase Americans of Japanese descent I wonder if the clarifying specificity of those extra words might not be necessary I wonder if others like me might otherwise tend to generalize in a way which inadvertently excludes this prominent woman and other Issei like her Maybe this small point has significance
