From Wikipedia: The Suzuki method, also Suzuki movement, is a method of teaching music conceived and executed by Japanese violinist and pedagogue Shin’ichi Suzuki (1898–1998) dating from the mid-20th century. The central belief of Suzuki, based on his language acquisition theories, is that all people are capable of learning from their environment. The essential components of his method spring from the desire to create the “right environment” for learning music. He also believed that this positive environment would also help to foster character in students.

Why can’t a guy named “Suzuki” be an American? Good Lord, this is 2014! Does Stein want to see his green card?

He’s saying “I bet he isn’t even American” because “The Star Spangled Banner” isn’t in the book… not because of any Japanese racism. Come ON.
