I understand Japan is not the melting pot America is and is still much more close minded by its very isolated nature. Yes, a gaijin will never be truly Japanese as Japanese is more directly related to ethnic background then the nation in which you live.
American is not an ethnicity nor is Australian...we all came from some other place making us gaijin within our own home.
To say a gaijin should ignore/not embrace the customs of Japan because he will be considered weird/delusional is broken logic.

No, I was saying exactly what GoNative said. There is nothing wrong with embracing Japanese culture. I am talking about people who think they can actually become Japanese by trying as hard as they can to fit in, and this same person is usually the one who has issues with the culture they were brought up in.
