I'm not a fan of JRock, but I used to be really involved with my high school Japanese class... My dad was
constantly making jokes about the Japanese, and stating things that he was POSITIVE were facts (like the Japanese eating cats and dogs...which is completely ridiculous), along with bringing up Pearl Harbor
After seeing me speak Japanese at a speech competition, where he saw that the language didn't consist of the words "ching chang chung"- and he witnessed Taiko drummers and other musicians perform, he suddenly quit making jokes...
Ahaha, I think parents subconciously LOVE making their kids extremely frustrated, when in reality they are living in the dark.
