I met Jeff at the Vancouver Public Library's Japanese Canadian Cultural
Fair.  He and his girlfriend are delightful.  He is an
animator.  “What Are You Anyways?” tells the story of growing up
with parents of different ethnicitis (Japanese & British) in a
small Canadian town (Kelowna)

Jeff's father is Scottish-German-British-Canadian and his Mom is Japanese-Canadian

When Jeff's parents blended their DNA together to create a baby….

Jeff
became a hybrid of Japanese-German-Scottish-Brittish DNA… and started
down the road of cultural misidentification and finding out who and
what he really was!

Kelowna BC, and now proudly embrace and promote their half-Japanese
cultural identity – photo Todd Wong
