but so many Asian if the say they are European or American or even Australian, they will ask more question "Really? Where u originally came from?" like they don't believe that Asian can be the citizen of non Asian countries

That's true, for some reason it's Asians and Hispanics that Americans don't believe they could actually be born here. Hey, why don't you go back to where you came from? :stare: What, I should go back to Topeka, Kansas? image Or: Where are you from? I'm from New Jersey. No, I mean, where are you from? I told you, New Jersey! (This is an ignorant way of asking a person where his ancestors came from, but we don't usually think to ask it that way of Asians.)

I see their Japanese cartoon from the 90s to recent year, like that Sailor moon, or this one is most popular today , and really for kids https://images.app.goo.gl/1phg8NQHBeLmQ27y7 "Miiko", when i see that cartoon i didn't see Japanese in Japan, but i more see white kids in Japan.

One thing that puzzled me when I first started watching Japanese anime is that nearly all the characters were drawn to look Caucasian, even if they were explicitly Japanese, and they looked just like the ones who were explicitly American or European.

When i saw the picture in church on colonial era, only white can sit on the chair, and non white must sit on the floor, only white christian can see colors from time to time

In the U.S., before the Civil War, people brought over from Africa were taught Christianity, but were not allowed to learn to read. As a result, they formed religious groups that relied on dynamic preaching and complex singing style based on traditional African models to spread the Gospel. Eventually these groups got educated preachers and, after Emancipation, formed what today we call the "black churches", which due to segregation, remained separate from white churches for another century. Although churches have been working toward integration for more than fifty years, there are still many black denominations, like the African Methodist Episcopal Church and the National Baptist Convention. They do allow white people to join if they want to. :) Most Catholic and mainstream Protestant churches tend to reflect their communities - Episcopal parishes, for instance, tend to be mostly black in the cities and mostly white in rural areas, and we have one Catholic parish that's made up of mostly Nigerian immigrants and their American-born children, that attracts other black Catholics. One of the strangest to my eye is a building near where I grew up that until recently was a Jewish Synagogue, that is now the First Chinese Baptist Church of Greater Hartford. image As I mentioned before, Asian Christians in my area tend to be Vietnamese Catholics or Korean Methodists, and Chinese Baptists are still a little beyond my experience. :XD:
