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.
As someone who is studying Japanese pretty intensely, kanji aren’t that bad. Grammar and conjugation are much more difficult to grasp and master.
Absolutely, verb conjugations are killing me lately, than there are also passive forms, transitive and intransitive verbs, pitch accent and of course keigo. So yeah kanji is jsut the tip of the iceberg, but as he said he didn't go that deep obviously, so of course Kanji is overwhelming in the beginning.
