Noda's whole identity as a Japanese-American is the subject of a mixture of incomprehension and stereotyping from white society. Thus it becomes an idea of being racial.
Step-by-step explanation:
Noda maintains and thinks that a third-generation German-American is regarded as an American, whereas a third-generation Japanese-American is just Japanese. Mainly because from any early age, Noda's whole identity as a Japanese-American is the subject of a mixture of incomprehension and stereotyping from white society.
She has the thinking and the mentality that the identity of a Japanese American is that of a racial identity and there is discrimination done against this identity compared to the other identities like that of a German American.
