Japanese American ~*Photography Originally Taken By: CrossTrips.Com Under God*~
Japanese Americans (日系アメリカ人, Nikkei Amerikajin?) are Americans of Japanese heritage. Japan is a western Pacific Ocean multi-archipelagic nation east of China in Asia.

The Lynching of Katsu Goto
One-hundred and nineteen years ago on this day in people’s history, Japanese storekeeper Katsu Goto was lynched in Hawaii. On the morning of October 29th, 1889, the body of Goto was found hanging by a rope from a telephone pole. As one of the “first ship” immigrants from Japan to the island of Hawaii, Goto worked on a sugar plantation before saving enough money to open a general store. Being fluent in both English and Japanese, he never forgot his fel... more

Toshio Tamogami
According to the Washington Post , a Japanese air force chief named Toshio Tamogami was ousted last month for saying that Japan was not an aggressor during World War II. This isn’t old news; I have friends in Japan who say that they didn’t know about Japan’s WWII history until they traveled to Australia and felt the resentment from people whose relatives had been killed. The issue, of course, is that Japan is still relatively insular, and that the Jap... more

This last, dainty incarnation of Zima might still be with us were it not for killjoy lawmakers in Utah and California.... MillerCoors withdrew the brand from Utah in September, after the state’s legislature passed an onerous law requiring new labels that indicate a malternative’s alcohol content in bold, all-caps letters. It didn’t make economic sense for the brewer to print Utah-only labels.
