The main camera and Joe's face camera CUT OUT during this recording! DANGIT. But I couldn't just lose this whole discussion so I decided to do my best with what I had and this is the result. Sorry guys...

Joe is 33 years old, if that wasn't clear during the video. After high school, he moved to Tokyo and lived in a much more international friendly life.

I'm happy to know that Joe was able to connect with his family in the U.S. and that they warmly embraced him. He has an extraordinary life story. He should write an autobiography.

I think he needs to sell his story to some movie producers. But I feel like this is just the beginning to something more to come. So glad too that his American family welcomed him with loving arms after all those years.

Not gonna lie this vid made me cry a bit. My mom died of cancer, she did the same thing she didn’t say how sick she was and I visited her at my sisters one day and she died a week later at my sisters home. She was on hospice but a part of me just kept saying she'd rise up like super woman. At her funeral I didn’t cry. I cried months later... I think it's cool that you're able to come out strong and talk about it.

Once again, so sorry about the cameras dying and uploading a barely watchable video. But it was that, leaving the screen black, or not uploading anything at all, so I chose to go through with it. You had to hear the ending!

Max, I think you did a fine job. As a suggestion, perhaps next time you can only focus on the two cameras that worked (although I imagine the editing might be quite complicated or too simple for your tastes) or simply keep the video with a black screen and audio only. The reason I suggest this is that the "filler video" you used for the camera that cut off actually created dissonance between the audio and the video, which threw my brain in a loop and I preferred to only listen and not watch. But nevertheless, I think you worked with what was best at the time and you did excellent otherwise! Don't beat yourself up too much over it - accidents happen. And thank you, and thank Joe, for sharing his story! I'm definitely going to subscribe from here on out.

I feel really bad for this guy. I mean his mom tried to help him right before she passed away. They had family struggles and he was discriminated against. It sounds like he had a tough life to be honest. How did you find Joe anyways? These videos were very real and I feel for him and those who had similar experiences.

I think if you watch his first video and see the photo of Joe as a kid he looked more African-American than Japanese, that and when he was 7 it would have been around 1989 - 1990 so a very different place to now. It's crazy to think that he basically was one of the pioneer's of half-models.

Joe is such a strong person to overcome bullying and worse in Japan. Thank you for doing these stories and for showing Joe gambatte kudasai!

確かに最近はたくさんのハーフの人達がTVで人気者になったりして、特に若い世代の人種差別意識はかなり減っているような気がする。 見た目や人種で人を判断するのは愚かで恥ずべき事だっていう社会的なコンセンサスがもっとできてくるといいね。 本来は学校とかメディアがそういう啓蒙の役割を果たすべきと思うよ。

Glad I could finally make a video for you! It's worthy to note that Japan and the Tokyo area has changed a lot lately, and Joe has many hafu black friends in Tokyo who had a less tough time than him growing up. But they still can relate on many types of "quiet" racism. This is the same in the US, but what I mean is that in his modeling gigs he oftentimes was offered roles for hip-hop fashion and never businessman fashion, which was primarily reserved for European Caucasians, etc.

I am basically full African American and watching your story made me sad. What really made me sad was that, even if you had grown up in America... you might have still had a unpleasant time depending on where you grew up. Parts of the South (NC, SC, Alabama, Georgia etc) were still quite racist "back in the day". While, I wasn't as isolated as you in Japan-I did go to an all-white Catholic school as a child because my parents wanted me to have a good education and sent me to a private school. Those were sad years...the South and racism left from days of slavery in America culture can be tough society obstacles to conquer. Haha... and yet I survived and thrived! We are a VERY hearty race of people...haha. :) It is good for all people to see and know about the success and survival stories. I am glad you are writing a script. I am glad you met your dad. I am sorry your mom passed... tho' I am sure she sees it all from where she is and smiles. May what is blessed and best from all of your heritage halves continue to guide your life and path in good ways. Thank you/Arigato.

I grew up in Jamaica and it makes me sad to hear this because even though verbal abuse is common. Race isn't a major factor anymore for anyone growing up. (What I USED to think was racism was just classist behaviour, rich vs poor), but I realize that some countries have it really bad just because of colour. I'm black and (since most of the country is black, discrimination against black isn't bad), not only that but we have a mix of Asians, Indians and whites and have intermingled with each other so much that we fall more under the heading of 'Jamaican' than we do under headings of race. Its so weird to see how badly Joe was treated as a child because in Jamaica he probably would've been pretty popular (because mixed kids are usually considered attractive here). Jamaica has a long way to go in terms of being politically correct and its views on homophobia and its acceptance of African culture vs British imperialism. But it is at least fairly progressive when it comes to racial equality growing up.

from what I`ve heard, there are a few factors, like 1.) what kind of haafu- it`s probably worse for half black kids, than for white kids, 2.) if its a boy or a girl- I`m pretty shure strangers wouldn`t attack him on the street if he was a girl, 3.) if it`s in a rural area or city, as he said in the video, it`s probably easier in the city. his situation was also unique because of the place he was from- Yokosuka. I think that if he moved maybe just 30 minutes by train away to Yokohama, the story might have been a lot different. I`m white and my fiance is Japanese and I`m certainly thinking about our future kids, where to raise them, about the languages and cultural values. Don`t know how it`s gonna end up, my country isn`t very multicultural as well, so I don`t know if it would make a big difference, if we moved there (Slovakia)

Half African and Half Indonesian here. I can definitely relate to some of the struggles you've been through, and I grew up in the US LOL! Definitely not as hard as you've had it though, I wasn't attacked everyday or verbally bullied to that degree but being a minority among minorities screws you up. I was never black enough for the blacks, not african enough for the africans, not asian enough for the asians. It's more subtle here, and annoying more than anything.

I was born in england and lived there for 1 and a half years and my dad suffered from depression and left us. i was half japanese and italian. My mom wanted my dad to come back and soon she suffered from depression and my dad told her to come to japan but by the time we where there. He was a changed man and my mom changed. My dad dosn't suffer from depression but my mom know does. i dont really remember much as i was still a kid. We stayed in japan for about 2 and a half years and i went to youchein for a while but everyone used to bully me although i really didn't look half that much. I used to tell my mom but the teacher really didn't do anything. after about 8 months we moved back to england and i suffer from some bullying but im used to it know and i have toughen up. these stories are very inspiring max, keep em up!

That you never cried over your dad is normal, cause you’re a grown man & essentially it was a missing chapter. Aware you never extend an invite for questions but mine is do you intend to revisit that chapter and build a familiar relationship with your dad or siblings?? Still, glad it all worked out - more grease to your elbow 💪🏾

I lived in Japan and am African American so I can understand what you´re talking about although I´m not a halfu and neither did I have many bad experiences. Thank you again.

this man is gorgeous ! It breaks my heart that people could treat him this way. in Canada, he would be considered a king. This a good lesson: your value is not determined by people around you.

What an interesting watch from the perspective of a mixed person growing up in Japan. I'm half Japanese/ Caucasian born in the US and raised in Oklahoma. I too, had my experience with racism during my formative years.

Compared to White half and Asian half, Black half is still so rare and stands out in Japan. And the way of racism or abusing in Japan is so indirect, subtle, tricky and stealthy to be done where it can't be seen from other people. So it's hard to accuse them in public. It's the way they can play innocent if they are accused of their racism or abusing. well, it's the same in case to abuse other Japanese, though.

This is a remarkable story. I know that it's not unique case for halfie kids, specially half black kids, and ethnic minority kids to grow up in Japan. These are really heart breaking stories. There are many good and kind Japanese people in Japan, but unfortunately, hard to meet strong and open-minded people who stand firm for social justice and humanity in ordinary lives in Japan. Only handful violent and ignorants push ordinary people to the side of streets, and hurt visible minorities in Japanese society. I hope more people have ability to see who they are and look outside Japan and learn about the world and be open minded to other cultures. Joe's story remind me of very dark side of Japan, though I love Japanese culture and many things in Japan. Joe, I don't know how you learned to speak English so well being in your situation, probably made a point of learning your language of own country(nationality) at some point of your life. You and your mother's strength made who you are now. I'm very proud of you. All the best!
