When the mongolians invaded Japan the emperor had a tough decision. He consorted with the gods and eventually Susanoo heard his pleas.

The price Susanoo demanded for his help was the sound we now refer to as L. The emperor took this bargain gladly and the filthy Mongolian (now known as Mongorian obviously) horde drowned in the sea.

Where I live, it's the other way around. Japs are mocked because they can't spell R and pronounce it with an L instead.

And the stereotype is actually true. I bought a pirated copy of a game from some jap store once and he asked me: "You know how CLACK the game? You copy CLACK from the CLACK folder so game can LUN."

I never understood why it's the other way around in english/engrish.

I'm pretty sure German doesn't use it.
Most of Germany uses the French/German R (Made in the throat), not the Spanish/Japanese R (Made with the tip of the tongue).

Trust me, my native language (Dutch) uses both interchangeably.

The same reason English speakers can't pronounce the Chinese R and why Koreans can't use Ls. Seriously, can the averae burger even hope to pronounce these? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9R076SUjlE Not to mention that The Chinese sounds represented by "x-", "q-", and "j-" in pinyin do not exist in English, and require you to train your mouth to make totally new sounds.

This is not a trait exclusive to Japanese.

Born and raised in Pontypridd, Wales.
Pretty much every English person I've met cannot pronounce the Welsh Ll
It's a voiceless lateral fricative quite common in our language, and uses the tongue and roof of the mouth, yet Bongs pronounce it like "y" in the word "Clay"
