American school. The homeroom teacher introduces a transfer student to the class:
"Kids, we have a new student — Ichiro Suzuki from Japan. Hope you will be good friends to him. Now, let's start the lesson and see how well you know American history. Who said, 'Give me liberty or give me death'?"
Dead silence in the classroom. Suzuki raises his hand: "Patrick Henry, 1775, Philadelphia." "Very good. And who said, 'Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth'?" Suzuki's hand rising up again: "Abraham Lincoln, 1863, Washington."
The teacher glares at the class: "Shame on you, kids! Suzuki is Japanese but knows American history better than most of you!"
A quiet voice from the back of the room: "Fucking Japs!" The teacher spins around: "Who said that?!"
Suzuki jumps up: "General MacArthur, Guadalcanal, 1942." The class freezes. Another shout from the back: "Suck it!"
The teacher, red-faced, demands: "Who was that?!" Suzuki leaps up: "Bill Clinton to Monica Lewinsky, Oval Office, Washington, 1997."
An outraged yell: "Suzuki's a piece of shit!" Suzuki, without missing a beat: "Valentino Rossi, Brazil Grand Prix motorcycle race, Rio de Janeiro, 2002!". The class erupts in chaos, the teacher faints, the door bursts open, and the furious principal storms in: "What the fuck is going on here?!" Suzuki, still standing: "Julius Caesar, Rome, 44BC!"
