アジア系アメリカ人からのメール
アメリカ在住アジア系アメリカ人の友人からのメール転記です。英語を読みたい方、どうぞ。We thought we were living in a country with autonomy.Our politicians permitted the presence of armed forces of other country.That armed forces spread their forces over our land.The politicians said they are convenient for the peace in the area, and having no problem since done by the treaty with that country.We thought it funny.We thought it strange.We thought it outrageous.Some decades has passed.Those politicians got impeached.Those politicians were lately called as betrayers, traitors.Can you guess what country I'm talking about?The country was once my homeland of my ancestors.And the other country was your country, Japan.It started a century ago.But can't you see a good amount of resemblances ...If you change the name of the country to your countryAnd the other country to my country?And change the era. Isn't it funny?Your country is now experimenting just as my ancestors had ...My ancestors were obedient.My ancestors believed in what politicians were telling.Do your peoplesomedaycall those politicians as betrayers?Will the history repeat?Will your people discover what we have learned?Is Japan, a country blessed with autonomy?Or a country under the sugercoated threat?Or trying to feel just as how my ancestors felt?Isn't it funny?
