My 13 year old niece has been taking Japanese for a few years now;  has such an ear for it, she's been winning awards in school for it.

Think she's getting a little Dances With Snow Monkeys on me, though...when I told her what the Japanese translation for the capital of Hawaii was, she got all tsk-tsky.  Apparently "Honoruru" is not only incorrect, but makes tweenager girls roll their eyes.

I think your "Asian stereotypes from the 70s LOL!" schtick only really is well received by a subset of old white Americans.

What, you don't think there is a subset of old black Americans who enjoy it?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Xiacob won't rest until all color is removed from "off-color" humor even if it means removing the white from "white knight."

He probably has trouble getting up in the morning carrying all that guilt for the horrible crimes of other, long-dead white men.

Meanwhile, you always forget the humor bit. :(

I forgive you whenever you're actually funny, but just because it's racist doesn't make it automatically funny in spite of what Hammy might believe.

Hami can't help it. That's just how he was raised.

Don't let Yi get away with that.  And don't let him play that "it's OK, I'm with them" I-can-say-it-but-you-can't angle.
