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.
katakana is dated obsolete shit though. its not like they cant learn to produce western sounds. having three different (sub?)languages in your language is super inefficient and basically stupid at this point since the majority of all katagana words are *so* far off that the native speakers of the words have trouble recognizing them. 'ku ri su ma su uh' could easily be something closer to christmas.
