“traditional Japanese culture (Okinawan”

Photo below shows a Ryukyuan (native Okinawan) child forced to wear a sign reading “I spoke in dialect” b/c he spoke Okinawan. Such punishments were a common tactic Japan used to eliminate native languages from the Okinawan islands and replace them with Japanese.

Imagining Japanese right wing racists seething at an American right wing racist calling Okinawan karate traditional Japanese culture.

Isn't the Okinawan diet mostly vegetarian and they slowly stroll everywhere?

after 3 years of playing softball together, I found out that one of my friends is Okinawan and hapa like me and we’ve been exchanging photos of our families and it’s cute as hell

I love finding my people, it’s not often that I run into other Okinawan folks

For most modern Okinawans, Japanese is their native language. By and large, however, it wasn't the native language of their grandparents. These elders continue to speak five separate languages - and this is reflected in Okinawan names.

Why are Okinawan names difficult for even mainland Japanese speakers? How the languages of the Ryukyu kingdom survived.

Even better, after this one, it brought peace to a 50 year Okinawan blood feud.
We used to sing songs that said

“I am the man who will fight for your honor… I’ll be the hero you’re dreaming of… we’ll live FOREVER”

And then win the karate tournament!!!
