You do realise that urban dictionary is not actually a dictionary.
But whatever... perhaps I'm wrong about the definition of Weeabo. Wapanese is still definitely offensive though and implies that there is something inferior about Japan which makes associating with it something to be derided. (I believe this term stems from the word Wigger which is a derogatory term for a white person who associates with closely with black people.)
And by "ignorant white people" I meant particular white people whom happen to be ignorant.. I didn't mean that all white people were ignorant. And the reason I said it because Wapanese and other taunts which are directed at people with an interest in Japan tend to come from white people in my experience... of course you are correct in pointing out that it does not necessarily mean that such behaviour is limited to white people.
