[Tsuwabuki]

I think we have a philosophical difference of opinion. You are internalising a label used on you by others. In a paraphrase of Eleneor Roosevelt, this cannot be done without your consent. If Japan is home, then the failure of others to recognise your contribution to the community, it sounds like a personal problem on their parts and nothing you need feel troubled by. I'm not like Mr. Johnson. I am acclimated, but not interested in the closeminded aspects of some Japanese personalities. This makes me a critical thinker, not foriegner, because in the end, the labels I apply to myself are the only ones that matter.
