[QUOTE="RSteve, post: 569344, member: 164"] [SIZE=5]Re: Naomi "Osaka's mental fragility," I cannot imagine the social/cultural pressures she has dealt with her entire young life. I have a female friend I've known for nearly fifty years. She is Japanese, born to Japanese parents in 1948. She is 5'8" tall and is 100% Japanese, born to the parents who raised her. Her father, the taller of her parents at 5' 3" refused to be seen with her by the time she was 12-years-old. In school my friend was taunted by classmates as being the child of a prostitute and an American soldier. Trust me. She looks 100% Japanese and, in the photos I've seen, facially just like her father. She was very fortunate that her H.S. English teacher was an American with ties to St. Paul, MN's Hamline College (now University) The English teacher found her a sponsor and got her a scholarship to Hamiline. The Japanese are very race conscious. Although Osaka "identifies" as Japanese, I'm sure she's heard more than a few racist taunts in her life.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
