I'm in the exact same boat anon, and I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm afraid to introduce myself as an Asian Studies major because I can almost hear the judgement.
It really doesn't help peoples opinions when I sit in front of a kid that wears a Pikachu hoodie and carries a Kirara plush around ALL THE TIME, because since I'm an Asian Studies major who likes anime and Japanese and Korean tv I must be a weaboo like that kid. I really just want to graduate quickly so I can go teach English in China
