You have something in common with SH90!!
I have been on the record of stating the Anglo-Japanese mix are probably unfairly the most attractive men and women on the planet. As a Manga fan the look is very fashionable

Lol!
Friends of my parents were an American of very English ancestry, and his Japanese warbride. When one of their grown daughters left an elevator in Colorado a young guy buttonholed her and said "don't tell me... Cheyenne. Right?" She told him no, "I'm half Japanese, and half White American". He was a native American of the Dakota tribe and thought he had her pegged as belonging to a neighboring tribe. White-Japanese Americans often do look a lot like North American Indians. Saw a TV doc centered on a south Alaskan guy of the Tlingit tribe canoing around the islands of south Alaska, totem poles etc, and couldn't help thinking about how he looked just like a guy I went to highschool with who also had a Japanese mom and a WASP American dad.

There is SOMETHING about the phrase "militant Vegans" that cracks me up. Not sure why it seems funny. Its not a head on contradiction to be militant about Veganism.
But its only a small step away from saying "violent Vegans" which would be a seeming contradiction (they are so nonviolent that don't even kill animals for food, and they are willing kick your ass about it.). And it would be alliterative as well.

all I got out of the twin master races was masturbation. [rim shot] when I was a young adult, people couldn't tell if I was latino or india-indian/native american. they knew I was "off-white" somehow.
What are you anyways? I know you have told me you have some Japanese in you.

I have trouble with my Rs and THs, so some people have mistaken me for Polish (or British). Even though (as far as I know) I don't have any Polish blood in me.

Back in elementary, yes. But since I have a cleft lip (since stitched up) I cannot purse my lips so some pronunciations are beyond my grasp. Such as hard Ks, Ps, SHs and Rs. My Rs sound like “urrrr”, if I saidmthe word rules it would come out as “wulls”.

ventriloquists invented another way of saying the American-style hard R by modifying the Spanish/Scottish trilled R to be solid. you just bend your tongue down in the middle by moving the tip about a half-inch from your front teeth, and you will get an approximation of the hard R sound.

But my tongue is fat and inflexible.
