no not weird at all- go ahead and learn Japanese- you will find it a very useful language if you want to become a successful international businessperson, Maybe your mother has a problem with it because, during World War 2 the Japanese were sworn enemies of the Chinese and many Chinese people who were alive at that time or had parents who were alive then or were perhaps living in China at that time found anything "Japanese" distasteful and even offensive, because the Japanese were considered the enemy and because of the bad way the Japanese military treated the Chinese during the war.

Nothing wrong with it at all. My parents didn't want me to learn Japanese either, but that was more due to WWII. But I took 3 semesters of Japanese anyway!!

I don't see how wanting to learn a foreign language is weird, no matter what your nationality is.
There's a Taiwanese boy in my Japanese class, after all.

It's no weirder than a French person wanting to learn German.
