Oh, another question: If these kids weren't Japanese and were, say, Québécois, would that be different? How? Discuss. Teacher OUT.

Hi Andrew! Caller here, thanks for answering! Here's an example you were missing: one of my students once said "today is a nuts day" instead of crazy, so now me and my friends use that phrase. Just silly stuff like that. Definitely not the l-r shift. And in response to your guest, I have learned a second language in a foreign country and I have made these mistakes countless times, and I still think it's funny. I'll keep your response in mind next time though.

Thanks again!

It's just as racist and insensitive towards whites as saying "you drive like an Asian" is towards Asians.
