These days, Weeaboo is colorblind, and can be attributed to blacks, whites, and even asians...everyone except actual Japanese. For example, if you're a Japanese-american kid who fits the sterotype, you're still as weeaboo as they come, though you may get cut a bit more slack about it. <div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('9459','Tex'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('9459','Tex','<a href=\'#comment-8392\' rel=\"nofollow\">@Freya<\/a> - In response to to the previous post, \'weeaboo\' has become popular because it is more general-purpose than Wapanese, although it was originally identical.

It apparently takes on the same meaning as 'wapanese' which is short for white japanese, so does that mean that people of black or latino background who are crazy about japanese culture and want to be japanese cannot possibly be 'weaboos'? Also, the word 'wapanese'. If someone is, in actuality half white and half japanese, should they find this insulting? Though, as 3. said, I consider myself a typical otaku as well and not weaboo, if i did fit the weaboo stereotype would I still be considered one, even though I'm not japanese but still half asian? I somewhat doubt it. :???:<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8392','Freya'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8392','Freya','The word weaboo always confuses me.

That's Jonathan Underwood definition of weeaboo. He thinks he is a celebrity in Japan because he did a show in japan and gets paid to do j-vlogs.
