hmmm...I'm sorry if people don't agree with my opinion (I'm not sure if this has already been said I havent really read all the posts, because I'm lazy) but I think an asian american who was born and raised in america isn't really any more asian than any other american. Sure they are racialy asian, but that's not really what deffines what culture you identify with. It's really about what culture you grew up in. That's really what defines you as a person. So I don't think that person really had a right to be speaking about what he was speaking about.

He can say he is interested in asian culture but to say he is a part of that culture makes him just as much of a poser as any japanophile. Besides he pronounced the word "manga" wrong.
