stereotype. I began looking at
myself in the mirror and wonder^
ed how I appeared in the eyes of
others. I became extremely selfconscious

third generation.”
The last sentence confused me
for the next three years. I was
a Sansei, yes, third-generation-
born. However, by preserving and
hanging on to the “cultural tra
ditions of Japan,” the non-Japanese will 'begin to see me not as
a Canadian, but as a Japanese
stereotype. I began looking at
myself in the mirror and wonder^
ed how I appeared in the eyes of
others. I became extremely selfconscious
and hyper-sensitive
about my Japaneseness. It may
have also been because I was in
my “adolescent stage” when
everything about yourself ap
pears funny 'and awkward. Every
time. I stared into my mirror

ness.

myself as the typical short, fat
and ugly Japanese girl who had
