      I once met a Japanese man who had been living in Texas and he had a hat and boots and was loud and friendly and spoke like a Texan.
      I also once listened to a scientific talk by a Japanese man, born in Japan, who spoke English in a perfect California accent.

    He broke the Japanese mentality and the stigma of culture. And I think what he means when he said he thinks with emotion... is he knew he had his heart set, and knew what he wanted to be. It's no wonder he admires Mexican culture, maybe he just wants a simple life of family, love, and well bounded relationships with friends.
    P.S: You can hear certain speech patterns in his accent he's picked up from Chicanos.
    (2:13) He says: Yeah honestly, like you know what, like...

    Spanish as a language helps building so many bridges, I always say there’s more words for LOVE in Spanish than any other language, so the language kinda conditions the interactions and lifestyle, you are encouraged to just be friendlier and happier

    As a Chicano, I promise you that we love the representation and appreciation the Japanese have for Chicano culture.
    Seeing them in the same outfits with the same type of low riders brings some warmth to my heart if I’m being honest. Especially because a lot of them copy our style so well that it can be hard to tell the difference when looking at a true Chicano or a Japanese person who embraces the culture.
    It’s not cultural appropriation because they show a clear respect for Chicano culture and it’s thanks to our mutual love for low riding classic cars.

      cultural appropriation is a word used by those who dont understand and/or dont want the spread of cultures; ironically, most of those who cry cultural appropriation also act like they advocate for diversity, all while endorsing segregation and racial supremacy..
      I was born and raised in California, learned to speak Spanish just as I did English; but I got in many fights just because people didnt like some gringo embracing "their" culture... despite it being the only culture here, so its also part of my culture... I didnt appropriate shit, I was just raised in this environment.

    私は一代目メキシコでアメリカ人 learning Japanese and taking a Japanese class with a 日本人の先生 has made me understand why my 先生 only has Mexican friends and why she loves (nuestra cultura) Our culture. But yes we Mexican value our roots and (bandera) flag because of the struggle our parents and grandparents had to go through when they got here to America looking for a better future for their kids and grandkids. Thank you for showing our culture and making people understand that not all Mexicans are ruthless and criminals. Love to visit japan after i'm done learning. My thanks from California.

    Being an American of Japanese ancestry (younger Sansei), I have an Aunt in L.A. of Mexican ancestry. There's actually a Japanese American cemetary on the edge of "Boyle Heights". So, the connection with the two culture is rather prevalent. :)

    My kids are very mixed with the mom's side being Japanese/Filipino and my side Mexican/Salvadorian. And, although my wife's genes are strong no one will suspect when they'll start speaking Spanish fluently. Thank you for sharing this interview with us. I actually live in L.A. and I am glad you are here. I hope you enjoy your stay in L.A.
