I'll read manga in public but I won't talk about it or bands. It doesn't help that before I got obsessed with this stuff and Japan I have a huge thing for Asian guys, I figure its hopeless, but I'm so concerned about offending them by letting it slip that I'm obsessed with Japan that I can't even approach them to try and make friends.

I'm a lost cause

You shouldnt be worried if you like it and as long as you dont say the wrong thing dont be scared to show of what you know and what you like.

I don't think it'll be offensive to them, depending on the way you present it. If you're all like drooling on them and being a total weirdo just because they're Asian, it won't work. But if you just act like yourself, I'm sure it won't be a big deal.

I totally agree.

At the end of the day, It's what YOU want like, and doesn't matter what other's think.

I've met many Japanese that don't like Japan and had many an argument with them.

Heck, It's not even my country but love the place!

I don't so much get picked on or teased but theres this idiot that goes passed me everyday in the halls and he puts his hands together like he's praying and bows quickly and says Hai. He's kind of an idiot because he doesn't even know what he's saying. ^.^
And there's another idiot that likes to try to read my Haruhi purse. He didn't even know what Meloncholy ment...he also said it wrong. O.o

The best thing you can do is be yourself. ^.^ That's all you have to do.
I like asian guys too. XD But there aren't many that live around me. :[

LOL Im like that too>.< I love japan its so pretty But Ive never been there!! Its my dream and im working toward it everyday that passes

hmm
ive never been picked on
but im not really the picked on type of person, ive got a strong personality and i dont like to be disrespected either, and i think i give off that vibe so no1 has ever bullied or picked on me
another thing is i dont look like the type of person into japan like how i really am(then again what does that type of person look like anyways) , i dont display my love for japan like that, the only way you would know is if u knew me already and i told you or you found out by chance.

Heh Heh, I've always hung out with the nerds. They've always been the cool people in my group since they're so SAVVY xD

I don't usually go out of my way to talk to Asians around where I live either. Sadly, the Japanese population is the smallest Asian population in this town. There are quite a few more Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese that live here. And most of the Japanese restaurants aren't run by Japanese. I'll listen to J-pop/J-rock on the computer at work, and really only talk about it to someone if they say something about it first.
