Lynn's family has lived here for 3 generations. She and all of her siblings, cousins, etc. were born and raised in Los Angeles. She has NO "accent" and people who talk to her on the phone, but don't know her personally, have no clue she's not "white". When they find out her last name is Yamamoto, they assume she's a white girl who married a Japanese dude. It's always funny when she meets people in person. The usual and tired old question, is always, "Oh, where are you from?" Her normal response is, "California". The next question is inevitably, "No, I mean, where were your born?" To which she answers, "Los Angeles". By this time, the person will be a bit flustered and speechless, then Lynn will ask, "Oh, did you want to know my heritage?" "I'm Japanese". To simplify her life a little more, I wonder if I should ask her to quit acting so white?
