| 6 hours ago | comment | added | T.E.D. | I did a study of this once, and there's a definite 2'nd generation immigrant effect like reported here. Perhaps something to do with not really feeling fully a part of either culture, where some compensate by trying to be extremist supporters of the culture their parents immigrated from. Not everybody, not even anywhere near a majority, but enough over the average that when you look among the ranks of extremist supporters its noticeable. | |

David Akira Itami, letter to the editor, Time, May 4, 1942, pp. 6 & 8. FWIW, the JACL newspaper Pacific Citizen ran an article on Itami about a year ago. | |

| 22 hours ago | comment | added | Avery | @JimmyJames Here's a clip from the 2019 version of the film with some English dialogue. You can get a taste of the depiction of both Americans and war. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | JimmyJames | "Thrilled at the depiction of Itami as a patriot of two nations, Japan produced a movie about his life in 1984" As I was reading your answer, I was thinking that someone should make a movie about this. Do you know the title of the movie? Is it available online? | |
