Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine how AmerAsinan School in Okinawa (AASO) students are positioned relating to others. Based on the fieldwork at AASO, it examines how they make borders between Japanese and American, Black and White, and Okinawan and main landers. It also analyses how they position themselves through popular culture such as cartoon and music. The positioning of children at AASO depends on the context. While they sometimes express more sympathy to American than Japanese, they identify themselves as Okinawan in another occasion. Being Black could mean different depending on who use the word, Black, in what way. Comparing Japanese popular culture with that of America, they select what they think the better. Although popular music could be divided by race, they can change the notion of "us" through their friendship.
