Quote #10
"Henry, this isn't about us. I mean, it is, but they don't define you by the button you wear. They define you by what you do, by what your actions say about you. And coming here, despite your parents, says a lot to them—and me. And they're Americans first. They don't see you as the enemy. They see you as a person." (41.9)
Unlike Henry's parents, Keiko's parents accept him and don't care that he's Chinese American. They don't judge him based on his race; instead they love him because he has shown compassion and love toward their daughter. What a concept.
