Why is my mom so hooked on us speaking Japanese?

My mom is starting to piss me off. Like, REALLY piss me the fuck off. Last year I devoted myself to learning the Japanese language as I like how it sounds and If I were to ever go to Japan one day, I'd want to know how to atleast say hello, as to not embarrass myself. My mom found out. Cool, I dont care. It wasnt like I was trying to keep it a secret anyways, I just didn’t think to tell her. Suddenly, she's telling my whole family tree that I like anime and that I like to draw it? Don't get me wrong, I do like to draw, but I've never considered it an anime style, and who are you to go telling people my interests? They can ask themselves if they want to know so bad, which they don't. Now, her newest little humiliation class going around, whenever someone's (me and my brother) to say thank you to her, she'll look at us like we just committed a grand theft auto and say "Excuse me?". By the way, she's expecting us to say "Arigato!". No. Absolutely not. We are black, mother. No. I'm not even learning Japanese anymore, by the way. One of the reasons? Her. She's kind of made me hate the language now. She says in some godforsaken accent, which, by the way, isn't even an asian accent, "Dou itashi mashite!". Shut. UP. Oh my god. What have i started and how do I stop it? I sound like a Koreaboo but Japanese saying all of these quotes. Yes, it's nice to learn and practise, but you're making it out like asia is our entire personality when it's not. If she doesn't stop doing this, what will I do? I seriously can't keep doing this shit, it's degrading. Bet any Japanese, or EVEN any Asian folk would hate me if I went around acting like this, I'm so sorry.
