happy it's-still-not-monday | a story about a girl

i know. another TED talk. love this one though.

a photographer tells the story of amerasians, the hapa kids spawned while american soilders were stationed in asian countries. there were 40,000 of them during the 70s, and they were all super shunned since it was very visibly obvious who their fathers were and the situations surrounding their conecption. so crazy that there were so many of these kids, just left behind. most of the amerasian kids ended up with corrupted lifestyles since they were so outcasted. rick tells the story of one particular girl... who looks SO western, but later ends up looking a lot like jen from nomnom! anyway. super interesting.
