Couldn’t Cao lead by example? He’s been invited to the White House, after all.
And he’s been silent in re the Gulf spill.

I thought his family is from Vietnam. I don’t think they did hara-kiri there. What is he talking about???

I guess he thinks white people won’t know the difference. I didn’t know they had Vietnamese ‘Samurai’. I didn’t know they spoke Japanese in Vietnam. This guy is an idiot.

You are correct! Even in the military, few Vietnamese, Chinese, Laotian, etc. killed themselves. It was unique to Imperial Japan’s bushido code. Cao is simply a moron.

Since Cao is Vietnamese or something, who is this “we” he describes...?
Every person in Japan would find his claim extremely puzzling.
He’s taking advantage of white ignorance, pretending 2b something he is not.
