Thank you. Though it may be true that oftentimes Asian people do cosplay better, that doesn't make it "theirs." Cosplay is an American creation and we can thank the analog generation and trekkies for the phenomenon. Just because Japan took a concept, meshed together and mispronounced a couple of English words, and adapted it to the current trends of their country doesn't mean that others shouldn't be allowed to (or scorned for) cosplay. I totally understand Asian people wanting something of their own, but they already have their culture. Us silly foreigners will never be able to take that away from you and we will never be as good at it as you are. Nor will we ever fully understand it. You should be proud that you have such an influence on the rest of the world (Post-bubble Japanese economy certainly is happy about it). Saying that no non-Asian people should be allowed to cosplay (and assuming that they're all ugly (some are)) is stupid and petty. If you're so adverse to cultural diffusion, then give back everything that Japan has taken from the West since Perry landed there in the 19th century. This includes, but is not limited to, pants, electricity, and comfortable fitting shoes. Sorry. You may be better at it, but it's not yours.
