im sick of japanese people asking me why i say im okinawan, instead of just saying im japanese

yes there is! have you heard of the henoko movement? right now in henoko bay, okinawa, the governments of the us and japan are moving forward with plans to use japanese taxpayer dollars to build an american ocean military base on top of my peoples 3000 year old blue coral reef systems, which will further threaten our traditional ways of life as well as one of the most biodiverse parts of the pacific ocean.

if you look up "our islands treasure" by kaiya yonamine, its a 30 minute documentary which explains everything that is happening at henoko. if you want to help, do what you can to share this documentary and inspire others to talk about what is happening at henoko bay!
