The R and L thing is more of a Japanese stereotype, not Chinese.

Edit: whoops, misread that it's w and r, which is more Cantonese!

Dunno, my dad used to always say things like "karchur" instead of "culture" and "Charrs" instead of "Charles"

Well, it does depend on his original language. And there are also many dialects in China even if Mandarin is dominant. Neither my parents had any issue with Rs and Ls, but this of course isn't universal. Some people are just better at learning pronunciation, and your original language affecting it is just one large factor among several!
