I'm certain an apology will be forthcoming in the years to come.... but it
will be a hollow thing... voiced by people who had nothing to do with the
war.

Don't be so certain.


| I could ask.

How would you phrase that question... "Heh are you an affable Oriental of
Chinese descent or one of them Japs "driving a UD truck,eating rice, raw
fish and wearing thick glasses."

I have an ID poster and can check:

I would not ask unless it became an issue.

I would fire up the grill, soak the steaks in secret sauce, peel
shrimp, icedown beer, put the rum in my captains crystal decanter.
Most likely we would just talk about boats, perhaps sail, or Dink up
into the wildlife refuge and tell Kanook & Aggie jokes.
