Hafu in Japan

This is the article including a short movie is just interesting. Check it out!

　About one in 49 babies born in Japan are Hafu nowadays. People usually have positive stereotype for half wherever their parents came from. However, they are struggling with fitting into the culture which may be Japanese one. And this article is about movie on Hafu made by Hafus.

　It was unimaginable that such a huge number of half would be in Japan until a few decades ago. I and almost all of the people imagine that being a half is just excellent, and we feel jealous of them. The truth and real, however, isn't as easy for them to live in a country with two different cultures as we think. I had envied them for some reasons like; they must be able to speak at least two languages and must be good-looking, but it changed by seeing and meeting many hafus. They are not different from us. The movie the article introduced describes the stories that many hafus suffer the difference between them and the others who are not like them. I suppose, especially in Japan, Japan isn't still a global country as the other countries are. Therefore, foreigners or hafus are usually seen to be someone different in Japan although every person is different. This leads hafus to a difficult condition to live. To be global society we have to adapt and change our fixed ideas into flexible ideas. Japan is trying but it isn't still strong enough.

Question:

1 What kind of impression do you have for hafus?

2 Do you feel something different between hafus and you if you have a half friend?
