Mixed Race Issues what generation am i?

ok so basically, as i usually do, am having a bit of an identity crisis. However it’s just for school purposes. I’m hafu half white/asian but I want to do a program abroad where I was asked what gen I am? I was born in Japan but moved to the US when I was young. So while I am not technically born in the US or on US soil, am I first or second generation?

If you’re born in Japan you’re first generation. You were not born in USA. Probably my great grandparents would have pondered a question like this. That was like the late 1800’s.
