I know right?  How dare they. 

Maybe they're just trying to adapt. i mean they moved from one region to another and just trying to fit in. There is nothing wrong with trying out different cultures.

WTF? I have not seen this. In fact most of the Asians that I have known tend to "stay with their own" more than anyone else. This must be something unique to where you live.

- Dying your hair is no different from choosing what color clothes you wear to a person who likes to dye their hair

- Your accent observation is ridiculous, most foreign people try to speak like the people who live in the country they're in. Nothing strange here either

- The plastic surgery thing seems a bit extreme, and I agree that people shouldn't have to feel like the need to look a certain way to look beautiful

- I also disagree with changing one's name in order to fit in better. I have to admit though, I thought about it before so I know how they might feel

I think it's mostly due to them growing up in the US, not them actually trying to hide their culture. I grew up like every other kid when I was young even though my mom & dad weren't originally from the US

...Now that that's out of the way, I think your thread is crazy

made me lol

Lots of white women dye their hair different colours too, it is not limited to Asians. There are also probably lots of Germans in the US who sound like Americans when they talk too. Why? Because that's what happens to people when they live in a society long enough.

Because of conservatives/republicans. They want everyone to assemble into this invisible so called 'American lifestyle' and culture and anything else is an insult to America. You can not under any circumstances speak another language while around people who speak English, and you can not print in multiple languages. If your name sounds sooo un-American you have to Americanize it because no one wants to try to pronounce a complicated name. There are people in America who are so ignorant and see different cultures as a threat.
I love Asian culture. I love seeing how diversity can bring beauty. I love Spanish (Baroque) inspired buildings and Chinese architecture. I also love Spanish accents and Asian accents along with others.

I REALLY want to bang Indian chics... does that make me seem as if I want to be Indian and forgo my super awesome White powers?

Having a desire for blonde hair means you want to be white?

Okay

Beings that I am born to a japanase mother and a german and other things (father).
Skin Color, does not make you Japanese. Their are some kids, whose parents quit most of the Japanese Customs. Does that mean that the kid should act Japanese even though he never experienced much culture related to Japanese? 

The thing about names, is honestly if you are going to to live in America, why give your children names that no one can read or say correctly? They will get picked on. Almost, no one can say, my mothers maiden name correctly even after we teach them how to say it. Which does indeed get irritating.

I can't say your completely off. But at the same time, I'm a Japanese American as is my family. We're not going to walk around in yukata's, and be completely Japanese. Because we're not. Many of us still go to obon festivals. Some still do Bustudan. And a lot of other customs, that growing up, I didn't question or think, Japanese do this, white people do this. I just thought, my family does this. I came to realize some of the things, most Americans don't do.

But ultimately, if your a white dude and you live in Japan for a length of time. You're likely going to do more Japanese Customs, and while that occurs you might change your customs to fit their culture a bit more. The same occurs here in opposite fashion. And there are Japanese that are from Japan, that force themself act like they're white or american. But there are Americans that do the same acting like they're japanese. I'm sure you've heard the term weaboo's before.

At times, being japanese. You are motivated to not be so Japanese in the US in front of non-Japanese, racism still occurs a lot. And some of my relatives were put into internment camps just because they were Japanese. Some of my uncles fought for the U.S. Against the Japanese in WWII. That's not to say, I'm ashamed of being partly Japanese, but I'm not ashamed of being partly white or American either. I'm just not going to rub it in everyones face that I am Japanese, unlike for instance Tim Tebow who likes to rub in everyones face that he's christian.

I'm not saying I know all, because I am not completely Japanese, I am a mix, and my situation differs from some other Asians in the west. But, I am a mix of both customs and heritage.
