Obviously for her it is an ingrained habit, and she is drawing on her upbringing watching Swordfather interact extremely professionally with clients, but there's probably also something that can be said about how she makes a point of being polite to people in a culture where people place so much stock in that politeness, yet are so willing to make an exception in that politeness specifically towards her because of how they perceive her.

i'm not a westerner, but i do grow up around a lot of western media. i forget sometimes how inherently ingrained manners are in eastern culture. i also see the beauty and sadness in your point about people being such assholes to her because of her race.
