I just learned that YES, the mayor of Seattle is a Black and Japanese man (and his mother was sent to a Japanese internment camp). So you know exactly what is coming.

Bruce Allen Harrell is the mayor of Seattle. He has an African American father and a Japanese American mother who was INTERNED in a camp with other Japanese Americans. Anyone want to guess why Seattle might be coming up on that National Guard occupation list?
