The story

Bertha Jacoby, a Jewish widow, is convinced by her daughter, Alice Black, to move from Brooklyn, New York to Tokyo to be closer to Alice and her husband, Jerry, now stationed at the US embassy in Tokyo. Visiting Bertha with the news of the impending move to Japan, Alice and Jerry, who consider themselves liberal, are condescendingly polite to Bertha's friend, Essie, who is concerned that their neighborhood is being compromised by ethnic minorities. Bertha overlooks the otherwise good-natured Essie's prejudice, which she does not believe she shares.
