    His parents came over pre-war, but it blew my mind when I found out the former dictator of Peru (Alberto Fujimori) was of Japanese ancestry.

    I mean there’s no reason why an ethnically Japanese man can’t rule Peru, but it still was not something I expected at all.

    Maybe it’s just personal prejudice?

      There’s a lot going on with Peru’s presidents. Another one was of polish ethnicity, another one shot himself and they recently impeached their 4th(?) president in the last 4 years. Also one of the few places I’ve seen that has a jail only for ex presidents.
