My daughter is called a "hafu" (the equivalent of "half cast" in Japan) on a daily basis by sweet, well meaning elderly people. There's no offence taken because there was none intended. Can't they just call her by her name ? Why would they mentioned the word hafu? They're complete strangers. They don't know her name. She gets a lot of positive attention because she looks different.

They usually say "aw kawai" which means "aw cute" then ask if she's "hafu". My wife gets asked the same when she's out with her without me. I'd have to want to be offended as there's certainly none intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that’s a terrible example. In modern day Japan it is deemed racist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling people out on racist language isn’t ‘trying to start arguments about racism.’ Don't bring context into this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
