@dearvicky Oh. LOL. I see what you mean. Just remember that just because a person is Asian-American, doesn't mean they speak an Asian language. that is a popular stereotype. :)

[dearvicky]

@allisonforfornsed Ah sorry, I didn't mean "half Japanese" like one parent is japanese and the other isn't, I meant he's equally American as he is Japanese. I should have phrased it different... Sorry :)

[allisonforfornsed]

@dearvicky George Takei is full blooded japanese. Just because a person has Japanese ancestry doesn't mean they speak Japanese.

[dearvicky]

@allisonforfornsed You know he's half Japanese right? If you wanna hear more Takei speaking Japanese, watch Heroes. There's also some random videos on YouTube and such of him in Japan (speaking Japanese)

[allisonforfornsed]

Wow, I didn't know he could speak Japanese. And it sounds so beautiful when he speaks it.

I live in Canada and I'm lucky because right in front of my province is an island which is super big!

@kyokonkyochin Your defensiveness speaks volumes. I'm certain your fellow weeaboos are very impressed with you - trolling YouTube! Maybe they'll call you "leader." Won't that be nice? Now how about you be a good little boy and get on with your homework. Maybe if you get good enough grades, someone will see you as something more than a waste of space. Your poor mother must be heartbroken.
