Picked on for liking japan?

[hennaz]

Because I have a Japanese girlfriend, I am often picked on by some guy (and occasionally 2 others) at school, because they think I have a fetish for Asian girls. WTF?

I know a friend who was looked down upon because of liking Japan even me unfortunately in my mind, I never treated him bad though but then I started to like the culture, the media, music etc and told myself, no one can take this away from me, my friend went to Japan, I'm glad and I will be looking forward to it too

I was never picked on because I know how to handle myself. People who like Japan tend to imitate japanese fashions, be loners, read mangas on public and draw animes all the time. You see, never read mangas at school, maybe you can draw a little bit of anime, but if you read mangas, people will think of you as a nerd. I'm glad I only keep my interest in Japan to myself.

I don't have that problem bc most of the kids in my school are manga and anime lovers. But for all you guys out there that are having this trouble do what i would do: TELL THEM TO GO FUCK THEMSELVES!! That's what i would do. We all have certain cultures that we admire, not excluding Japan. They should just shut up and go on eith their lives.

I don't see why you have too keep something you like private to avoid being made fun of. It makes people who like different cultures or things in general seem (alittle)ashamed of who they are, I never hide who i am. or things I like for that matter people need to learn to have some tolerance and remember everyone in the world is different and likes different things ergo: They should back the hell off.

I never had that issue but really I've never been into anime and those comics.
However, my younger brother has that problem.
I tell him that highschool isn't forever.
Lol.
