AsAm News | Hapas Soon to Be the Majority in the Japanese American Community: "By 2020, just four years away, demographers says the majority of Japanese Americans will be multiracial/multiethnic.
A new exhibition now at the Japanese American Museum of San Jose in California runs through the end of the year. It is curated by Fred Liang and Cindy Nakashima who also co-curated an earlier version of the exhibition in 2013 at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles.
“My parents married in 1965, when it was still illegal in sixteen states, but they married in Ohio, where there were no anti-miscegenation laws,” Nakashima told AsAmNews. My dad is a Nisei, my mom is a White Anglo Saxon Protestant(WASP). They met in graduate school.”
The interracial marriage rate in the Japanese American community is estimated at 66 percent. "
