28412, Again with that America arrogance!

You're full of shit, there is a huge difference between inabiltiy to pronounce something and having all the ability in the world to say something correctly yet making a million excuses to protect the way YOU want to say it. Japanese people speak a language other than ENGLISH. While many argue that southerners and black americans do not speak english, I still think they all do and they are perfectly capable of the proper english pronounciation of peoples' ethnicities. Your insistance is no different than if I insisted to call all black people blackies and argue that this is just the way I say it.

>and being that they lack the "l" sound in their language, and
>that all syllables must end in a vowel, they don't say i'm
>black, they say i'm "Ba-ra-ka." and then i get indignant and
>am like, "I'm Black! How dare you call me something I'm not!"
>and then i see a tube of that toothpaste with the pickaninny
>on it, and i jump to the conclusion that they are calling me
>"Ba-ra-ka" because they think i'm a pickaninny.
