Talk:Sansei

message: Question: The article as written implies that only sons of Issei couples can be Nisei and similarly for Sansei.
Is a daughter of an Issei couple not considered Nisei? Or is a daughter of a Nisei couple not considered Sansei?
Are the offspring of a couple that has one parent who is Nisei and another who is not, not considered Sansei?
I know well a number of people who fall into the categories above (a daughter of an Iisei couple, sons of a Nisei American who married a European woman he met in WW II, for example).
This needs to be clarified. As written the article seems to be sexist and possibly racist.

thread_title: Definitions unclear

message: In the AfD thread for Yonsei (fourth-generation Nikkei) that Caspian blue initiated, a complaint about the short poem by Lawson Fusao Inada in the "Internment and redress" section became an odd, off-topic complaint.  In posting this anecdote from the life of Yukio Ozaki, I anticipate that this complaint will likely recur ... and perhaps the following anecdote establishes a reasonable context for explaining why the addition of poetry in articles about the 'Nikkeijin have a plausible provenance?
:Ozaki was opposed to militarism; and was sometimes confined by the authorities for expressing unpopular views.  He could also applaud those whose beliefs differed from his own. For example, in 1921, would-be assassins rushed into his house while he hid in the garden with his daughter, Yukika.  The father of one of these dangerous young men later approached Ozaki to apologize in person for the actions of his son.  Ozaki immediately responded by with a 32-syllable tanka poem, which he handed to the surprised man:
:::If it was patriotism that drove the young man,
:::My would-be assassin deserves honor for it.Ozaki, Yukio. (2001). The Autobiography of Ozaki Yukio: The Struggle for Constitutional Government in Japan, p. 342.
Poetry doesn't have a place in every article, but in some, it is an arguably appropriate enhancement. --Tenmei (talk) 17:00, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Poetry

message: Does it make sense to limit new additions to this list? This thread is a first step in seeking consensus opinion.
Is it appropriate at this stage of the article's development to initiate a standard limiting names on this select list to 
:(a) those who already have Wikipedia articles 
:and 
:(b) someone whose sansei status is verified by a reliable source citation?
In a context informed by practices which seem to have worked out well at :Category:Orders, decorations, and medals of Japan, all new additions who aren't already featured in an article or whose sansei status is unconfirmed may be re-redirected here with the following edit history explanation:
::people listed here must have an article and be confirmed as sansei in a reliable source -- see "Status: Notability" on talk page
The names which are problematic incllude:
* Katherine Bannai.<:ref name="galang121">Galang, M. Evelina et al. (2003).  Screaming Monkeys: Critiques of Asian American Images, p. 121.</ref>
* Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga.<:ref name="janm2008">Japanese American National Museum (JANM):  Civil Liberties Act of 1988</ref>
* Rod Kawakami<:ref name="galang121"/>
* Peggy Nagae<:ref name="galang121"/>
* Ken Narasaki
* Alan Nishio.<:ref name="janm2008">Japanese American National Museum (JANM):  Civil Liberties Act of 1988</ref>
* John Tateishi.<:ref name="janm2008"/>
In due course, any or all or most of these may be restored. --Tenmei (talk) 15:19, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Status: notability?

message: Hi
Can't we merge all these duplicating/ overlaping articles Issei, Nisei, Sansei and Yonsei into the Japanese diaspora (Nikkei) page? Besides the obvious repetition, just because these terms exist for the different generations, that is no justification for separate articles. We don't have separate articles on first, second, third generation French/ German/ Chinese/ Portuguese immigrants in WP content on immigrant communities.
