first and foremost..
i guess you can call me a brapanese..not wapanese..
because i'm a jperson stuck inside a chinese-jamacian body,
living in canada!
wahhhhh...
or, for lack of a better word...extremist...
admittedly so, i love all things japanese,
i am considered a lolita by some of my peers(to the girl who says she hates them, nya..it doen't matter i'm going to be famous and you won't, and then you'll regret it..hahahahahahaha..)
so anywho, i believe i am a "brapanese".
doesn't matter anyway.

Based on the definitions presented, no. But I have been called such, but not by people who actually know me in real life. People simply assume that because I've immersed myself in Japan's language, culture, and history to the extent that I teach these subjects it to teenagers, AND because I like anime and manga that I'm "wapanese." I'm very much aware that I'm not Japanese, nor am I white for that matter. And I'm very aware that every country has its problems; Japan is no different.

I know quite a few people who do believe that Japan is pretty much akin to paradise, and to be quite honest I feel embarrassed for them when they start gushing about the place. Especially when they start talking about its culture and history, because oftentimes the information that they're spouting is incorrect.

I know one girl who is so in love with Japan that she does want to live there and become Japanese. She's conveniently ignored the fact that she's almost six feet tall.

Haha, good for her, atleast she isn't worrying about it and making a big deal preventing her from going.

Permalink - Wapanese

A vulgar, but close to the truth explanation can be found here.
NO. My interest is because my sis is half Japanese. And I want to learn the culture and I want to learn to read the laguage.....by far I am still Japanese Iliterate.

LOL.
Best thread ever.
I don't watch that much anime.
I don't read that much manga
And theres few Japanese bands that I like.
And Japan is not top of my list to live at or even go to.
So, No.
