Everything has a cause and effect

Infinitely hates the heroine, it is really nondescript, love that is not love, and human nature that has never been noble. The last hug of the movie, no matter what, desecrates love. Prejudice can only be exchanged for prejudice. Because of the Pearl Harbor incident, Americans have developed prejudice against Japanese residents, and the Japanese in the movie are not different. The heroine's family has taught something since she was a child, and she lives in the United States, but never accepts it. The beliefs and way of life of the American people have been taught since childhood to marry a Japanese and not to associate with white boys. So everything has a cause and effect. When you feel that you are being treated unfairly, think about how you have treated the world fairly.
