I've had many 'asian american' friends. In fact the ones I knew from high school, I never once even thought about them as being 'asian'. You may think "yeah right" but it was in college when someone said "where is he from?"
I said "who?", "Oh, he is american"
So I can understand this.
On a side note, you should see how people from America / Europe are portrayed on Japanese TV. I think we are kinder in the States.
