sooo...i'm not totally sure how to word this, it's just something that bothers me from time to time. first off, i don't consider myself "wapanese" in any way. i LOVE japan. i take a japanese class at school, and i am really fond of the culture and people. i watch like two anime. sometimes i find myself wishing i were born there so i could experience the culture without it being odd. i'm italian-american, and my town has a lot of asians living in it. i have a few japanese friends and something i'm always worried about is that they'll think of me as some kind of 'LAME BAKA GAIJIN' kind of anime-obsessed kid. which i am not. (well i am a gaijin, but i really hope i am not baka) so my question is, from the description i gave, do people like me ever bother you?
