Obviously as a staff member of 91.8 I have a fair bit of love for all things asian. I call myself, and people like me weeaboo. I use the term often when something "weeabooish" comes up like "well of course blah blah blah because we're all weeaboo here" etc etc.

I think taking offence to a name gives it it's power. So the only thing that happens when someone gets offended by a word is it gives people who would use it negatively more power and it takes a bit of power away from oneself. That applies to any term deemed "derogatory"

So sorry, like Randel Graves and "porch monkey", I'm going to continue to "take back" weeaboo, and I suggest stopping yourself from getting offended by the term because all you're doing is giving power to those who would use it against you.
