It's interesting. I probably can't open a soul food restaurant, but I can likely open a Chinese restaurant since my wife is Chinese. But what if I opened a Japanese restaurant? I can imagine people eating their sushi thinking it was so nice that this white/asian couple opened a Japanese restaurant, but then spitting out their food in disgust once my wife spoke (That is unless they can't tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese language, then omg eat up you racist scum!).

Up here, at least, the Japanese aren't accorded culture. Most of the sushi/teriyaki/yakitori places are owned and operated by Koreans.

I am a proud finnish-american, and happily check 'other' and write that in on every form that I can.
