combs mouth dropped.

She wrote a book that was guaranteed to make everybody hate her. Like declaring you are an Atheist. You can imagine how the book is received here in the islands, with all of our ethnic Japanese. They don't want to talk about the fact that the embassy spy in Honolulu that passed all the Pearl info to the Japanese was an ethic Japanese who was an American Citizen. Or about the Japanese Pilot who crashed landed on a minor Island off Kaui on Dec 7th and recruited a local ethic Japanese couple. The couple then killed a local Hawaiian who took the pilot prisoner. I have an ethnic Japanese son-in-law, real nice guy, whose father was on Maui during the war. You can bet I will never bring it up!

She set out to write a book in favor of profiling, and used this as a justification. Bad move. I didn't use to like her columns. Now that she blogs daily, she has got much better.
