Last night’s forum exploring the connections between Japanese internment and post-Sept. 11 America, blended both artistic and intellectual elements, including dance and spoken word in addition to speakers.
“The suspension of civil rights does not only concern certain groups — it threatens all of us,” said Cindy Ng, director of the Asian American Activities Center. “The speakers raised important issues, and our hope is that this is just the beginning. We cannot be silent, but rather, we have to speak out and prevent these detentions from happening again.”
80 year-old Kiku Funabiki, labeled as an “ex-con” by the government during World War II because she was Japanese, said that she was inspired by the survivors of the war who spoke out in the 1980s. |

A few weeks ago, a 20-something Caucasian male, who strangely had Asian features (i.e., broad face, narrow eyes, dark complexion), whistled at me the introduction of a song called "I think I'm Turnin' Japanese" by The Vapors who recorded the song in the 1980's.
Recently, Incubus and Liz McPhair each covered the song. This Caucasian male whistled this ancient asian melody at me when I passed him in a grocery store in Austin, Texas. He whistled the tune again when he passed by me. He and I passed each other a few more times, and each time, he whistled the tune. His lips didn't move when he whistled, so he thought he was being sly. " |
