My best friend in middle school had a Mom who came from Japan. My roommate and close friend at boarding school had a Dad who came from China. And one of the girls I lived with in college had an Asian Dad, not sure from where, never thought to ask, I only met her Mom. I never thought about it, they were just kindred spirits who became good friends of mine. My own grandmother came from Poland, I figured that everyone came from somewhere.
