I have to say lucky me! I live in a country town of only about 2,000 people and nobody really cares about anime and manga. If you don't LOVE sport you don't fit in! Simple...which also ends up being quite a few people
Anyway I don't hear too much discrimination, directly anyway. But it really annoys me when my grandmother stereotypes all asian people as deceitful lying freaks...well she doesn't say it exactly, but I know she thinks it.
My mum went to Japan when she was younger and she knows that anime and manga isn't just for kids and isn't just cartoons. My dad has embraced anime fairly well too. Ghost in the Shell series(one of the many he's seen) amazed him with the quality of graphics
My brother introduced me to anime many moons ago. So yeah, again, lucky me!


I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you. Ghost In The Shell
