撥雲見日






The ghosts of Pearl Harbor, the Vietnam War, Korean War, and the Chinese Exclusion Act never really have dissipated.

You speak 'their' language better than they (do or will ever) but you will never be accepted as one of 'them' until you have bowed your head in submission, even to a 19-year-old brat.

That is racism.



lit., to dispel the clouds and see the sun (idiom); fig. to restore justice
