He then realized that in the American south, all the blacks sit in the back. After he got off the bus, he needed to use the restroom. He had decided. He had to choose whether he could use the colored or whites restroom. Nubuo Honda then chose to use he whites bathroom because he didn't want to get into any further trouble.
