1. 13:50 dude on the right is lucky asl. The things I’d do for a Japanese woman built like that 😩

2. He really looks like a mexican, colombian or peruan. But seems like such a sweet guy i hope he the best.
   Its cool to see how mixing ethecities can make you appear as a complete different ethenicty

3. I guess nobody knew about condoms back then

4. This is so wrong for soldiers to have done such a thing, and the mothers who abandoned these kids! Had I been one of these kids, I would have never forgiven the SOB, but at the same time would have used my disdain for them to drive me to success and show that they had/were actually meaningless in my life. 🤷‍♂️😬🤣

5. They are very good looking.

6. I’m Brazilian and my father was a Japanese who immigrated to Brazil after 1960 just post war years. He told me that the Japanese children born from the Black soldiers and Japanese women were sent abroad for adoption because at that time the Japanese society would not accept them in Japan. There are many mixed children left behind In Okinawa by the American soldiers. I went there and I saw some “hafu” or half which means mixed kids in Japan. They look mixed but they’re Japanese. The governor of Okinawa is one.

7. This report makes me choked up 😭

8. Shame children

9. Shame on these American men who presently abandon their children in Okinawa. If the military doesn’t have rules to enforce child support, it should.

10. I am lost for words.

11. Crazy how this still happens

12. Most Japanese are still racists to this day…..

13. Men who couldn't keep it in their pants , how weak

14. Interesting and compelling.

15. We cannot be judged for the sins of others, nor for what our ancestors have done. Only for our own acts are we responsible, our acts, and whatever influence we may have on the affairs of the world. Having said that, I wish to God that our people had done better than this. This is pain that rips through the center of childrens' hearts and souls. I pray to whatever gods there are that I may never, ever, cause suffering like this…

16. The same thing happened with my father in Australia, his father was a US soldier and left my grandmother.

17. Did this channel do a video about the children born from the rapes that their soldiers committed in Algeria?

18. God bless these humans go have had to deal with that abandonment.

19. Masao's father must be from South America fo sure.

20. I am sure the French have babies worldwide too, after occupations like Vietnam.

21. I am a 76yo pure bred English born man and I have no tolerance at all for racial discrimination, as so did my parents. I have people of many races and colours married into my extended family and ALL are equal to the white family members. Having lived in Australia for the last 56 years I now have friends of many different ethnic backgrounds and religions. All have equal standing with my Australian family. My hope is that the World learns that all people are equal regardless of their background.
    Thank you for bringing this video to us to help progress this hope.

22. Fortunately this tragic story was not repeated in Afghanistan or Iraq.

23. My Great Uncle married a Japanese lovely lady and brought her to the United States. My uncles side of the family treated her well and protected her from the bigotry then. She was the sweetest woman and treated us all well.

24. Every War has them..

25. That man´s father had strong native american genes
