It seems to elude you that all those great qualities you mention are not the stamp of a being a "JAP," but rather of being affluent. Those qualities you mention are what all wealthy women possess because they do not possess its opposite: generational poverty, actual poverty, fewer educational and career opportunities, generational and current PTSD, rage, anger, a shitty attitude (because if you are poor your life does not matter), bad teeth, bad hair, no chance in hell of clawing your way out of your working-class hole...Yeah. Poor women are not as "awesome" as JAPs for reasons that have nothing to do with character and everything to do with being born to people with generational wealth and tonly the best educational opportunities. That you don't know that smacks of the kind of privilege-denial that makes people hate you, especially when you whine about how bad you have it. And, you can claim protected minority status--that your plight is shared with actually oppressed minorities, like Blacks or poor people in general. So, think about that next time you have the time and money to actually do yoga and reflect on how awesome you are.
