watching anime and and liking the fashion and taking intro language classes does not make you asian. it does not make asians respect you or accept you as their own
( Read more... )
I was originally going to make a post out of this, but decided to go against it because I really am sincere and I want you guys to understand where I am coming from
( ... )
Also on another note. I didn't originally think you meant this post to be directed to me but now I am thinkign otherwise. Anyways..
Just so you know:
- I am majoring in Japanese so I will be taking a culture and history class
- I don't talk about anime with people who don't like anime
- I don't speak in japanese to people. Because I will sound stupid and I am always worried my japanese will sound bad or be wrong.
- I realize that liking the asian culture will not make me asian. Nor will I ever be asian. I wish I was lucky enough to be. But I'm not. I accept that.
- I know that asians were in internment camps. I witness hate crimes against asians on a nearly daily basis. So don't just assume that I am some clueless moron.
I'm not saying that you think any of these things. I just want you to know more about me, since apparently you don't know where I stand most of these issues. I just hate being thrown into the "otaku" category.
I hope your not mad at me from these comments. I still heart you and miss you bunches.

But I take back everything I said. Whatever.
I'm sorry if what I've said in my journals offends you. End of story. I love you. Sorry.
