Death Note, Blood+, Pumpkin Scissors, Dirty Pair, Black Lagoon, Gunsmith Cats, Ah My Goddess...the list of anime with positive portrayals of non-Japanese characters goes on and on.

Sure, many times the bad guys are foreigners, but surely not a majority of the time. I don't think this argument holds up.

I have no problems with otaku unless their the kind that think Japan only has and revolves around anime/manga/video games and the kind that abuse the Japanese language (the "omG! Kawii desu niiii!" Ya those...Ahhh...I gave myself a headache even typing that...).

"Anti-Otaku"? Never met one. Personally, they have no reason to be frustrated or unexplitictly mad at an otaku, since they probaly have things too that someone could get on them about.

Otaku are tricky people to deal with. They can be very misunderstood.

Eh, they prolly aren't much different than Trekkies or Star Wars fanboys. As for being misunderstood, I suspect most of us have been misunderstood at one time or other.

This is like Naruto, I'm OK with Otakus as long as they don't act like big Narutards.
