Japanese Americans
Japanese Americans are different from the Japanese people living in Japan, of course.
Most of Japanese Americans seem not to have strong ties with Japanese in Japan. But they cannot become anything different from Japanese Americans while their Japanese DNAs are predominant in themselves.
Japanese Americans are Americans of Japanese descent. Japanese Americans have historically been among the three largest Asian American communities, but in recent decades, it has become the sixth largest group at roughly 1,304,286, including those of mixed-race or mixed-ethnicity.[1] In the 2010 census, the largest Japanese American communities were found in California with 272,528, Hawaii with 185,502, New York with 37,780, Washington with 35,008, Illinois with 17,542, and Ohio with 16,995.[4] Southern California has the largest Japanese-American population in North America.

THE CONTEMPORARY ECONOMIC POSITION OF JAPANESE AMERICANS
Today, because of the changes in the post-war years, Japanese Americans are well-represented in both the professions and corporate economy. The prewar discrimination against university-educated Japanese Americans is largely ended. Japanese Americans today have higher levels of education on average than the majority population and comparable to slightly higher incomes. Studies documenting the absence of Asian Americans from top corporate management and public sector administrative positions provide some evidence that there is some sort of "glass-ceiling" for Japanese Americans still present in the larger economy. Still, the economic position and socioeconomic mobility of Japanese Americans is much higher now than any time in American history.

So far as now, no Japanese Americans have had a critical influence on the US. They seem to have opted to live without friction with any other races, and especially the Caucasian race.
Anyway if Japanese Americans cannot speak and read/write Japanese, they cannot be hired by major businesses in Japan. They are part of America.
And most of their ancestors immigrated to the US, when Japan was not so rich and they were not rich at all. They could not become rich in Japan, so that they came to the US. Their descendants have fulfilled the dream and object of their ancestors. But they have lost understanding of Japan their ancestors had. Is it critically disadvantageous for Japanese Americas living today?
Anyway, generally speaking, Japan has not helped Japanese Americans, and Japanese Americans don't help Japan. Are we simply strangers?
