Well here is your rebuttal to think about: My previous business partner (RIP) went on a month long holiday to vietnam. While touring on a buss with his wife, he got to know the young gentleman (Approximately 22 years old) that was driving / tour guide. His work shift was 28 days on and one day off to go back home to his new young family. My business partner asked him if the young people in Vietnam had animosity towards USA or Canadian people due to the past war that occurred.If she told you she was from Japan or Japanese, I feel surprised and to be honest I don't believe that. The following is my personal opinion on Japan or the Japanese, and has nothing to do with massage. You may not know that as a Chinese with a sense of national pride, I/we should not say that Iโm/we are Japanese, nor should we make an analogy.
This is a historical issue. Our country was invaded by the Japanese during World War II, and trillions of Chinese people were massacred by the Japanese. Until now, their government and textbooks are still trying to erase this history. I like and admire the Germans because they admit the crimes committed in the massacre of the Jews.
Especially as a Chinese, she/he can completely say that she/he are Chinese. Why does she/he have to compare himself/herself to a Japanese? He/she can be Korean or someone else.She may not know or forget that her city was massacred by Japanese invaders 70 years ago, who killed defenseless women and children.
Of course it never happened in your country, you donโt know the history and you are not wrong. That's why I was angry when a staff member said she was Japanese. Of course I hope you heard it wrong.
This topic has nothing to do with massage, and I will not accept rebuttal.
Without even thinking about it the young tour guide confidently answered: We don't look at the past, we only look at the good future we have because that is what makes our lives happy. We cherish all visiting people including USA so we have good jobs to support our families.
I thought about this and couldn't believe this statement came from this young kid just starting out in life that only gets to see his young wife for one day per month. He genuinely felt privileged to be able to have a happy life and to spend time with foreign people learning about them.
