    When I first met my future my son in law, he told me, with a laugh in his voice, "I'm Jap-i-can!" Ha! He is half Japanese, and half Mexican! IT WAS GREAT!

    He's not downing Chinese, he just didn't see himself as that so it felt alien to be called that. It would have been the same if they had called him "hey Icelandic boy." You get the idea... anyway he is handsome and funny no matter what his genes.

    Forcing me to purchase anything, is unconstitutional! It robs me of my Right to pursue my own happiness. And because I didn't buy what I was being forced to buy. The Government stole hundreds off my dollars. And told me that I was in violation. I want MY MONEY, BACK.
