What if I only feel white some of the times, but not all the time, and sometimes I feel like I’m kinda not anything, and sometimes I feel more like I’m japanese, like when I’m watching anime?
Before transracialism was accepted in the modern day world, art and culture have expressed its meaning throughout life. Turning Japanese was a prime example of the fact. A man was trapped in another man’s body. A small black eyed Japanese man.
The song in reality was about embracing the fact of who you really are: a small Japanese man with little hands. Sometimes people think it is a lark with trendy lyrics or just Chris Farley dancing around in Beverly Hills Ninja for a good laugh. But, this isn’t about just a good laugh, turning Japanese is living and dying the life of a Japanese man with small hands, even if it means an end by Seppuku.
