I hate the term "wapanese"

Name: Anonymous 2006-03-10 0:22

First off, who's to say a certain race should act a certain way? That to me is complete garbage. How you act on the outside, what you like and dislike, etc. doesn't mean you are trying to be a certian race; It just means you like that hobby, that language, that area, WHATEVER. I had a friend who became god-awfully annoying to talk to because he coudln't grasp this idea.

This is how I feel about so many critisms people use. "Act Black." "Act white."


Excuse me? Because I don't feel like listning to rap anymore, sagging my pants, and everything else you've assumed...... all of a sudden I'm not acting black? Who's to say that's only a black trait in the first place?



Race has nothing to do with it; it's how you were raised and what you were around. What I described above is not acting "black" it's acting "ghetto." There's a difference when you take that and label it exclusivly with one race.


Another favorite, Wapanese/Japanophile/Etc.


*sigh* especially if YOU'RE IN JAPAN. What?? Someone should be ashamed of trying to blend in? Someone should be ashamed of trying some of the culture out and doing themselves? Especially in a place like Japan where group and conformity is so common....I should make life harder for myself because somehow that would make me more "true" to my self?? Yeah screw that.

I don't even agree that we should even consider "how Japanese you are trying to act." Why is there a gauge? What's wrong with trying things that other cultures have to offer?

If I was really being myself, I wouldn't care about how it would look and I'd just do whatever interets me; That's being yourself.


"Staying away from looking like you're trying to copy someone/something else." is not being yourself.

Let me ask you a question:


If someone lived in Japan for 20 years, learned about the culture, ended up AGREEING with it and started living/advocating it, does that make him any less of himself than someone who fits more of the "american" stereotype?

Does that make one a hyprocryte and the other "himself"?

*This might seem to some like an angry rant, but I'm that angry about it. It just soemthing I've always thought about. I just don't agree with making distinct lines between different types of behavior. Why should someone have to defend/explain his or herself for liking something from a different culture?*

Please don't take my tone incorrectly. Just positive pondering. Don't you think It's going too far to call someone a "wanna be [insert race]" just because they show or have interest in things that fit a stereotype or another culture?

i feel the same way, sometimes those people whove been to japan and see the country in a realistic way get mixed up with those who think Japan is..well whatever they made up and think it might be in their minds.

“Wapanese” are decidedly caucasian individuals who, by means of thoroughly warped postmodern acculturation processes, have come to the decision that it is in their best interest to act as if they were denizens of the nation of Japan. The term “wapanese” can be accurately though of as an analog to wigger. A whitey can be classified as a “Wapanese” if they are in possession of two or more of the following defining traits:

2. Operates under the erroneous belief that every aspect of American culture is vastly inferior to that of Japan’s – even though 99.9% of Wapanese have never had firsthand experience of any sort with their preferred culture (in other words, they’ve never set so much as one foot upon the island(s) of Japan)

Interestingly, Wapanese are generally though of as “failures” and rejects within their own culture. Social scientists such as myself speculate that it was their failure to gain acceptance within their own culture than has lead many a white geek to seek out Japan’s culture as a surrogate; however, they’d be shattered to know that the insular and somewhat racist Japanese society would be even less accepting of them than the people of their true and native culture.

if only i had a japanese girlfriend, i understand the true pain of hakaguchu-mamoki-san-kun-chan in episode 38 of happy miracle desu acid donkey punch galaxy destiny when nana-makajahapa refused his love. oh woeis me the understood pioneer attempting to fit in with a culture I wish I was born into. I've done all the right things. I eat pocky, I collect animu figurines, my name has been changed to that of japanese-like origin and have japanese tatoo symbols on my arms and neck even though I can't understand half of them, and I regularly cosplay in the japanese country. Where did I go wrong?

4. Extreme cases may traipse around whilst wearing a “costume” that makes them resemble their favorite anime characters (this practice is reffered to as cosplay; cross-dressing and raging homosexuality is not an uncommon component of cosplay.

Anime is vastly superior to western cartoons aimed at children. Except perhaps hey arnold and spongebob.
