Question

Describe the difference between Noda's identity as a Japanese American woman and being racially Japanese.

Answer 1

The difference between Noda being Japanese American and being racially Japanese is that in the former, her physical race is that of an American and the latter explains her cultural upbringing.

Why did Noda not identify with being japanese?

This is because, from an early age, Noda's whole identity as a Japanese-American is the subject of a mixture of incomprehension and stereotyping from white society.

In the story, the author, Kesaya Noda writes about her personal experiences growing up as a daughter of Japanese immigrants and this shows that a person's race does not define them as a person.

Even though it was a difficult thing for her to accept her identity as a Japanese American woman because she was ostracized for being a Japanese American. She also faced racism and discrimination.

Hence, the difference is her physical race and her cultural upbringing as a woman.
