One of the people I used to hang around with about 30 years ago was half Japanese. His father brought back his wife from when he was part of the rebuilding forces after WWII. And, if you met him, you would not know he wasn't full Japanese. He was raised in the South, so you know he knew all of them.....
I had never heard any racist terms concerning Asians until I met him. Wow.....I'd heard just about every other derogatory term for every ethnic group possible.....but he was an education.

^^^sounds like a generation gap thing. did you know there used to be a tv game show called "the generation gap"?
That HAD to have been one of the shortest lived series ever. But I actually remember it. I was like 14. They had a panel of oldsters, and a teem of hippie-looking 20 somethings. Each team would attempt to answer questions pertaining the other generation. I think I saw the show once before it went off the air. In one question the host explained "saturday morning cartoons are for children, but some catch on and become hip fare for twenty-somethings. And here is a clip from one such cult cartoon thats become hip for college age folks to watch. Can you I name it?".And they should a film clip. Of course the older generation team were stumped. But the younger generation were ALSO shaking their heads with baffled looks. I was appalled at the second team because they didnt recognize one of the greatest shows of all time: "George of the Jungle"! Jeeze! How can you not recognize that?
ummmm, mebbe the youngsters were too busy watching "josey and the pussycats?"

Germanese?
What's funny is that I have either 1/8 or 1/16 Native American in me. You would not know it. All the Irish and Swiss shows in me. But my Mother and Uncle had the darker skin, more rotund chest, higher/broader cheekbones, etc. and that really jet black hair that had the blue sheen. My mother's hair was thick and straight, my uncles curly. But, I'm all white enough to see the blue in my skin and (used to be) reddish/gold/wiry beard and woolly as all get out.....

I like black licorice better than the red stuff. Especially licorice babies, black jellybeans, black ju jubes and that soft-eating licorice. My dad likes black licorice too, though, so maybe it's a taste I inherited.
I also like pineapple and black olives on pizza. My brother used to annoy me for putting pineapple on my homemade pizza by calling it "Hawaiian slugs". Fine bro then work and slave in the kitchen making your own dinner if you don't like it. 
Like I said, I really like black olives. But other olives are too strong and salty-tasting for me. My mom likes them, though.
I seem to like a lot of foods that are black. Dunno if that's a coincidence or my inner Goth. 
Can't imagine eating black noodles though, because they're colored with squid ink. And black pudding (AKA blood sausage) is yeeeech!
