People never embrace the culture they're from. I know a lot of asians who are "ashamed to be yellow".

Anywho on topic I'm not wapanese in that sense probably more in a literal sense but not much white. I don't wish to be all japanese either because its more fun being mixed.

He is not basing it on looks. Do you thing a person can make another person happy just by looking good? When he says that he want a beautiful wife that makes him happy when he comes home, he means that she is beautiful to him. And that ain't the same as choosing your wife just because she looks good.

A person can't be beautiful without a beautiful inside and a beautiful outside.

Anyway, Wapanese? Its quite clear that having an unhealthy obsession about anything means there is a lack of something, somewhere else in someones life.

Um...why am I proud of the fact that I like something? Because I like it. In case you were wondering, I don't consider myself 'Wapansese'. I do consider myself a Japanophile in the true/older sense of the word. (we had a discussion about this a long time ago)

Yes I eat with chopsticks...a lot. I like them. lol. Yes I watch anime, I like it! I don't say SUGOI or KAWAII every ten seconds because I think it's stupid. I'm actually learning the language because I'm interested in it. I've read many a book on various aspects of the Japanese culture, again, because I'm interested in it. I like Japan, so shoot me. Really now, I don't consider Japan to be heaven on earth or anything like that. I know they've done terrible ridiculous things in the past but hell, welcome to the club. Everyone else has too. I just found it amusing all of the stupid things people do because they feel 'Japanese is the way to be!' Really, it's like some sort of diseased fad thing now. I'm not yet crazy enough to be a Koreanophile but I'm getting there.

(note the sarcasm there as you seem to be having a problem with that.)

Did you actually READ what I wrote?

*shakes head*

Ive always wondered this. But I dont think I am. I like Japan and know alot about the country, but it I wont like something just because its Japanese. In fact there are all sorts of things I hate about Japanese culture that I wont go in to. They are there though.

Ah, wapanese. The stupidest term created since weeaboo as an insult for the same thing;

Yeah, I love the country; a lot.
Yeah, the food. A lot.
And I LOVEEEE the language, culture, and people. A whole damn lot.

I use japanese daily now as practice. But I don't say "Baka" or "Yaoi" as my main phrases.
I loved the country since I was too young to know what internet was.
I've always been that way- into other cultures. Before Japan, it was china and sweden.

Yeah, I do watch some anime, and I read manga. But it's just 'cause it's entertaining. I'll go for ANYTHING that catches my interest.

There is a joke among my friends I act japanese. But it's just 'cause I change my personality so easily. xDD

I just love japan.
Nothing to be insulted about or teased about. :/
