Where are these idiots who think it's wrong to be interested in someone else's culture?

Getting annoyed about someone who gets the wrong impression about a different culture and bases one's interest on that, I can understand... and Americans aren't the only ones guilty of that. (Hollywood, anyone?)

Um, I've run into quite a few. Some of them are really, really invested in anime being a passing fad and American youth trooping back to Disney, traditional values, and home grown entertainment. Seriously. A handful are uncomfortable with anime because it isn't Christian - i.e., it isn't something they can shoehorn into actually being a bible story, like most western media, because the ideological content is just that different. But mostly I think they're just people who think American everything is far superior to what the rest of the world could possibly offer, and American culture should be aggressively exported to the exclusion of everything else. Which is enough to make me want to gag. And find it slightly endearing that the otaku thing just will not die, much to their chagrin, even if American kids often have no clue what respectful engagement would even look like.

Well, if you go with an SJW argument, if you're white it means you're appropriating it.
