Pretty wicked looking anime is starting up this year called "Joe is Japanese" about a Japanese-Western half (half breed of each) growing up in Japan. From the little intro video, it looks pretty interesting, and covers some of the situations that a lot of us find ourselves in from day to day. Found the anime while reading Japanator, and heres some quotes from 'Joes' mySpace page.

The show is based on (mostly) true events from my life. It wasn't easy growing up a half-breed. No one culture will ever be yours to embrace. No matter how hard I tried, I could never really be Japanese, and as I got older I realized that I might have overcompensated and became too Japanese. You'd have to be Japanese to understand what I mean by that one...

Here's a shot from the anime of a far too common experience from [Joe's] childhood:

I was the target of bullies until I left high school. Bully’s in Japan are a new level of evil, BTW. I'll tell you about the stove shockers and garlic/basil incident.
