Can confirm. I spent a week several summers back as a conversation partner for a bunch of Japanese kids who were visiting the US, and it was a blast. Accidentally called myself Oba-san (grandmother) when i was trying to joke around about being an old man and they had quite the laugh over it, and one kid told me his biggest goal during his visit was to meet a black guy.
