this Moron Adam Funk  seems to be repeating:
               Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's.
               Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's.
               Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's.


Does anyone (with some knowledge of phonetics, phonology)
     care to comment on how the    most ignorant
     of the White American bigots are still repeating this?

               Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's.
               Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's.
               Japs can't pronounce L's -- Japs convert L's into R's.



this Moron Adam Funk's   use of   [ō]  [ī]   (to indicate Long vowels)
             is also annoying...
