"They go to Japanese schools and learn Japanese rules and norms but still behave like they're not really from Japan." Because nature, DNA, creates culture. Otherwise they would become culturally Japanese (Swedish, Italian or whatever). There wouldn't be a problem.

A black lady who grew up in Japan was complaining that she's had zero dates in Japan. Instead of looking inward and trying to change herself she feels that she's "stunning" and is surprised at not being popular. This is a really good of knowing someone isn't really culturally Japanese. No Japanese person would behave like this. We wouldn't call ourselves "stunning". It would be seen as extremely arrogant and shameful. This is a big reason why some foreigners who are born here struggle to fit in. They go to Japanese schools and learn Japanese rules and norms but still behave like they're not really from Japan. This lady is a really good example of this

Ich wär' so gern schöpferisch. Würde so gern Dinge schaffen, die bleiben, die überdauern. Besonders auch in der jetztigen Zeit, in dem Zeitalter der Computer.

Vertiefung:

Gemütliche Abende, an denen man sich tief mit Dingen befasst.
