Daniel talks with Lois Ann Yamanaka, the author of the book "Wild Meat and Bully Burgers." Her book is loosely based on her own life as a Japanese-American growing up in Hawaii. She described how difficult it was being poor and of Japanese decent in a society where being white is considered being "the best." She also talks of the things she tried to do to be accepted and how ashamed she was in her early years of her family and family heritage.
