Ok, since you have no idea who I am, please don't make assumptions.

This is not about people who adopt other cultures. I answered a question about whether or not I came to this country because I was a japanophile. The fascination with Japan in America right now does seem to stem from a lot of romanticizing, as orientalism always has. Adopt all the cultures you want--I respect it a little more if people actually make an effort to go to that country and experience it.

Parts of Japanese culture I have been able to love. If you'd like to know about that, ask me. But don't make assumptions about my person based on my answer to one question in one entry.
