listening to a white girl give a slideshow presentation about apologetic customs in japanese (11 slides), chinese (both mando and canto combined into 1 slide), and south korean (3 slides) while just spouting generalizations should be a jarring experience but hearing this sort of thing at least once every 3 days while attending a liberal arts college makes none of this is surprising at all whatsoever.
