Kennedy, 1961\".\n\nThe teacher snapped at the class, ‘Class, you should be ashamed of yourselves, Little Hodiaki isn't from this\ncountry and he knows more about our history than you do.\"\n\nShe heard a loud whisper: fuck the Japs,'\n\n\"Who said that? I want to know right now!' she angrily demanded.\nLittle Hodiaki put his hand up, ‘General MacArthur, 1945.’\n\nAt that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.\"\n\nThe teacher glares around and asks, 'All right!!! Now who said that!?'"}]
