I find the term weeaboo and Wapanese very offensive.

I just recently found a term that unfairly targets anime fans, japan fans, and a whole sector of fanbases and subcultures it is called weeaboo or Wapanese. As you all know the weeaboo term was started in a chat filter on 4chan coming from a web comic. It spread to the mainstream and is now a very derogatory word for anyone non-native to japan who cosplays, like japanese video games, watches anime, reads manga, listens to japanese music and the like. I just think it is unfair to attack not just one, but hundreds if various subcultures and people into one big category. I'm ranting about this since last night when I found out this lamer who thinks just because he has lived in Japan is better than us. Though that gives him some leeway to say "it isn't like that" or whatever to target us, and call us names and insult our interests is so disrespectful. I'm not going on the tangent of racism because that doesn't fit here, but I just want to get this out of my system.
