Some Nisei Reaction to Evacuation Redress: “What Will My Hakujin Friends Think
By WILLIAM MARUTANI

WE’VE ALL HEARD it
at
one time or another, or alas have articulated it ourselves.-Some­
one proposes a certain
cour­
se of action or urges our invol­
vement by speaking out, and. the
hesitating retort is: “But- what
will my hakujin friends ’ think ?”
This even though we knew deep
down that the proposed : action,
or the speaking out, was justi­
fied by this bogus fear of risk- ing the displeasure or condem­

nation of those hakujin “friends”
(and you’ll please note the quo­
tation marks) who presumably
might condescendingly
remark
“You people don’t want to be
like them!” This supercilious evaluation may well be fortified
with a raised eyebrow. And rat­
her risk that , type of condemna­
tion, we are intimidated
into
inaction.
OH, WE WQN’T - admit that’s
the reason for our reluctance:
rather we come up with some
rationalization for our resistan­

There is something about the Japanese Community of Mon­
treal. It’s such a small group compared to other centers, and yet
the cooperation and the coordination amongst the groups, is .mar.
velous; Take just one incident during the picnic. As chairman
was approached by an elder of the Bukyo Kai, and the result was
that the latter, through the speaker, requested the minister n
the United Church to give grace before lunch, to the group of
approximately 500 present.

(PjS. As we were taking down the decorations and closed the
amplifier which had for most of the day been playing Japanese
songs, a pretty Sansei girl came nearby to fetch a softball that
had rolled by. “Thank goodness you finally stopped playing those
horrible songs,” she quipped impishly, and skipped off.
(In retrospect, I wonder, rather sadly, how much longer we
Niseis (and Isseis) can join in our “last Hurrah!”, how inexoiab­

passing scene.

the fiscal year ended in March
was almost as big as that, of the
prime minister’s office. The uni­
on’s attempt at putting an end
to the ads ended in failure.

Sasakawa said he has under­
gone a major change in his view
of the world as a result of Ja­
pan’s defeat in World War II:
“Before, I was a Japan-firster,
but today I realize Japan cannot
prosper unless the whole world
is at peace too.”
In an effort to make friends
for Japan, Sasakawa has given
millions of dollars to
leprosy
hospitals in- India, to a cancer
clinic in the -Philippines that be­
ars his name' and to countless
other worthy causes in countries
Japan invaded during the war.
Although Sasakawa has been
decorated by many Asian
go­
vernments for his aid projects,
the Japanese government wait
ed until April 29 this year to
thank the controversial philan­
thropist. Even then, Sasakawa’s
receiving of a first class order
caused a former socialist parlia­
mentarian to threaten to return
his medal.
