Title: As a Japanese-American I am insulted...
Review: Everyone screams praise of Golden, but most of the Japanese women I know who have read this hated it, as do I. Golden may have researched and trained for ten years, but my own music and dance training by a geisha taught me that geishas take twice that to train. A Westerner who attempts to write about Easterners is fine, but do not claim you can ever understand the nuances of a culture or that you are an expert on something when its obvious you are not. I was so insulted and continue to be that such horrible indiscretions about my culture continue to exist and are pedalled to be true by so many uneducated people. Being half American I am so ashamed that we believe a work of FICTION as truth so desperately. Its not about political correctness, its about misunderstanding a people.
