when i was making youtube videos, i would get all kinds of comments. after a while, i stopped replying because some were not worth my time. there are a lot of haters in the world and i won’t give them a second of my life. check this one out: “eh you fucken jap go back japan!!!” you japs don’t know who to surf you just fucken take up space in da lineup. fuck you jap go home japan.”
in my lifetime, i had 2 experiences of guys saying that exact same thing to my face in the water. to me, that’s fighting words! so i instantly attacked them and kept on punching them in the face until my hands were bleeding and broken. my anger overtook the pain. if my friends didn’t pull me off i probably would have gone to jail. i still get angry thinking about it. i better go take some deep breaths…
anyway, check out the video the guy left the comment on. i was commenting in Japanese but youtube deleted the audio. don’t know why, but they did. anyway, most of these Japanese are my nieces, nephews, and friends. and no, we aren’t going back to Japan. i think the guy who wrote this comment needs to come to Hawaii and experience some aloha. this is how we enjoy Hawaii, this is how we enjoy surfing, and this is how we enjoy life. jealousy and hate won’t get you anywhere…
