Reddit reviews When Half Is Whole: Multiethnic Asian American Identities

This. That one (of like the three hapa-specific books) When Half is Whole covered an incident very similar to this w/ an Okinawan Hapa talking to the author (also hapa), and he's just soooo mesmerized with coming to America, finding dad, and finally being free of being ostracized in Okinawa... and ofc, felt bad for him in it, but it was just too ironic that he didn't see his own grass-is-greener mentality when he's dreaming of finding a foreign soldier who abandoned him. His mom is way more on point with this.
