I don't know if you know about this yet but it's been in the news.



The kids are Eurasian.

Poor kids. =(

Another reason why you shouldn't have kids with a foreigner.

Read this recently in the blogoshpere:

What’s right and wrong with divorce in Japan

There is generally no such thing as joint custody among Japanese nationals. Visitation rights (面接交渉権 mensetsu kosho ken) may be granted by the court, but are often very limited (sometimes to a few hours once per year), are very difficult to legally enforce, and one parent must still be designated as the custodian whether or not the divorce is consensual. The only way a Japanese child can be registered as being in joint custody is if the child has another citizenship and their parents’ divorce was finalized in another country which allows joint custody.

The view of most [Japanese] judges (based on interviews with judges that we have done in the past) is that kids need to be insulated from the hurt between divorcing parents by giving them just one care-giver. But this is a traditional view and has no basis in fact.

That is SO sad. aw.
+Technically theyre not eurasian. Theyre half american. Not european!

[hypeforlife91]

^ So what are they? Amerasian? Lol. I happen to be half German-American. My Dad's dad was American and my Dad's mom was German. But then again some Americans have British roots and part of my last name is clearly quite British.

You guys should call me Euramerasian then lol. xD

But lots of people that are supposedly "half-American" still calls themselves Eurasian.

Eurasian...Avrasyan...Eurasyan. American is White...common knowledge throughout the world. What's the difference between America and most of Europe?

This Japanese Female kidnapping of their children to Japan after their affairs with White Males in other countires is more prevalent than you think! This is not an isolated incident.
I think a study should be pursued.
That's if it is politically correct internationally.

I thought that in follow up articles it was actually the Dad's fault?

Somebody is confused here.

European can be both a nationality (well, of the individual country) and a race. American is only a nationality, not a race. You can be American and Eurasian in race. And I don't even know if those kids are American, as it appears they only have Japanese citizenship. But they are definitely Eurasian. Some Eurasians have both parents who are American, where the Asian parent is American.

Girl who made that comment must have been quite confused at all these American EAN users.
