It's hard to talk about my home country between Asian friends. Japan has very bad history that won't be forgiven. Because of that Japanese younger people who didn't physically exist in the history ambiguously feel like we are indebted to the other Asian countries. It is kind of strange to me because nobody chose to be born in a specific country but I happened to be Japanese so I am the offspring of war criminals and some people were born to the family who is the offspring of war victims. Also, Japan is the second biggest market in the world, even though its market has not been doing well in the past years, it is sometimes accused that Japanese people are stuck up about their economic status. I feel that some Asian friends think I am so proud of Japan.
I know I will have this title, "JAPANESE" forever, but I am somewhat tired of it. I am one existing person before I am Japanese. The differences between people from different cultures are not that big. We are same.
