Japanophile actually means that you have a strong interest and knowledge/scholarship in one or more aspects of J-culture (same as Francophile, Germanphile, etc goes to their corresponging countries).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanophile

Wapanese, on the other hand, is a person who idolizes everything about Japan, believing that the grass is greener there and the sun shines brighter, that is why one will try to be as similar to Japanese people as possible... quite oftenly, taking it too far and becoming an exile of their own culture. The term "wapanese" (White + Japanese = Wapanese) has been typically used on Americans who tend to be/ act like they were Japanese, but recently this label is being attached to people from all over the world, who have exaggerated interest in Japan...

Er no, not entirely.

I love Japanese people, their counrty, history, art and culture. Yes I also love the anime and manga. However, I do shower, and I don't spend my days buying bunches of "plastic craps". I do have action figures though, lol.

That site is rediculous. Its just stereotyping.

Theres nothing wrong with enjoying another culture more than your own. Its all personal opinion. They love America for the most part, and try to be like Americans. Not all of course.
