What if you were called a Weeaboo? 12 Years ago Karma: 0  
Ok if I post this in the wrong place can you move it to the right one? Anyway, the other day I was at the bookstore looking at the Manga section when suddenly someone yelled out:

"OMG IT'S A WEEABOO!"

I turn to see a 10 year old boy pointing at me as he said it and I was confused on what the word was. It wasn't until I got home to look it up and well it was a bit shocking and funny at the same time.
If you don't what a Weeaboo is here's what it says"

The term is used to describe a person of non-japanese descent (usually white) who is incredibly obsessed with Japanese things. Like Anime, Manga, Video Games, ect. Also they think Japan is the coolest place on earth and want to move there. Plus they have a hard time speaking the language correctly and bombs on proper educate as well.

So I question to you, what do you think about this word? Do you think people around you call you this word because you like something different and not what they like?
As for me I am a little Weeaboo but not a full blown one trust me I am not I like other stuff as well but learning another country is cool and I get to know stuff I didn't know about and use them as much as I can where I live.
