I spent 2 years and met my wife in Okinawa. They truly have a unique culture and history. It is unfortunate the discrimination many Okinawans have faced over the years. In Japan, its hard to be different from everyone else. If you want to be really shocked, look up the history of the WWII battle of Okinawa and how they were treated by imperial troops. That would make a good (though morose) article.

Yui Aragaki doesn’t look like a typical Okinawan.
