In general, many foreigners will admit they can't say foreign words "to save their life".

I agree its sterotyping. I can't agree there is racism, hatred or dehuminization in it like some have posted. Nor posting old war hate propoganda with wonderful handcrafted adlibs in comparison.
Clint, wow.

Yes, Many Japanese eat rice two or three times a day...no one talked about that one as a stereotype.

I don't admit to not being able to say "foreign words" in Japan...because I can.

Please, don't make me the bad guy for posting an example of post-war racism. The fact that this crap is accepted is the problem.
