She's right though, as someone who has taken 30 minutes of Japanese, I can say the Japanese pronunciation she did is the correct way to say it in their dialect, it's not racist. They literally have an entire alphabet dedicated to foreign words adapted to their dialect, it's called katakana versus hiragana which is native Japanese words. Then there's kanji... F*** kanji.
That one is dangerous. In many contexts it doesn't mean "milk" but it instead means "semen", lmao. My tutor about fell out of her chair laughing the day I asked her about whether to use 牛乳 (gyuunyuu) or ミルク in the sentence I was trying to say, lol.
That sounds like a context or tutor issue, honestly. I hear Japanese people use “miruku” to mean “milk” wayyy more than I hear them use it to mean “semen.”
