Consider it this way: what would you say if a blonde homecoming queen fell in a love with a short Japanese businessman? He treats her cruelly, the goes home for three year, during which time she prays to his picture and turns down marriage from a young Kennedy. Then, when she learns he has remarried, she kills herself. Now, I believe you would consider this girl to be a deranged idiot, correct? But because it's an Oriental who kills herself for a Westerner - ah! - you find it beautiful.
