I guess I'm happy that I'm not actually in Nagasaki for the remembrance of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Last week, we had a moment of silence for Hiroshima. I missed the moment for Nagasaki because I was attending some things with the Board of Education, but the funny thing - or not so funny - was the fact that when I asked what was going on, the teacher told me and then got an embarassed look as she remembered that yes, I'm American in spite of my Asianesque features. We laughed about it later, but it was a good thing to remember that sixty years ago, the world's first atomic bomb was exploded in two cities in the same country. And since then, there hasn't been another case. Nuclear weapons need to go dooooowwwwwnnnnnn.

And that's my little self-righteous message of the day.

In other news: I knew Harry Potter fans were crazy (I'm one of them after all, and it takes one to know one...) and this takes it to a whole new level.

Dontcha know? Asians are meek and subservient. They'll take all the crap thrown at them and then ask for more.

*kicks things*

God, I hate people like that! And I knew it would be like that for her too. Poor girl! :( Maybe JKR will say something about it, I would! Or even better, Daniel!

I got into a minor argument with someone on ohnotheydidnt over the issue, but in the end, I think there was too much differences in viewpoint for us to even agree to disagree.

I really hope JKR does say something. I mean, hell, Katie Leung may not look like the stereotyped Asian doll, but she's what WB and (I'm sure) Rowling chose for the part. Don't they understand that?
