I, personally use it at people who see Japan as some kind of wonderland, but don't really know anything about it except anime, J-Rock and manga, and it has got nothing to do with Western culture being superior.
Well the term Wapanese I believe stems from the word Wigger. So I can't imagine it's original meaning being much different.

Weabo it seems I might be wrong about.. though one definition in the urban dictionary link did say that it stemmed from the word Wapanese being filtered on a particular website....
