^Uh, and you know this how?

Hopefully you aren't just stereotyping those of Asian decent with having nice hair (because I know for a fact that not all Japanese people have nice hair. One of our foreign exchange students Wataru had the UGLIEST hair you can imagine--the man did not take care of it at all. It was constantly greasy and just plain....nasty. I know that it wasn't just because it was thick--because I have thick hair too, but because I actually take care of it, it is healthy and soft. He was just a slob.)

Ugh, stereotypes.

You need more chocolate covered kisses...I'm not stereotyping ANYTHING or ANY RACE...I'm implying that I bet LEN'S hair is nice and soft...albeit maybe a little greasy....LOLz

Wapanese - A white person who wishes they were Japanese. Can also apply to non-Asians glorifying all things Asian, while putting down all things of their own culture.

See: Weeaboo, Blackanese, ganguro, self-esteem issues

I never really like ganguro, don't they have to either get a tan or apply dark makeup foundation?

Can we set aside the "ooooh, you are stereotyping" thing? I'm a believer that all of us on this thread are smart enough to not confuse reality with preconceived notions and hearsay.

It gets really hard to discuss things when you have to put in disclaimers and doubt casting phrases only so people don't accuse you of "being narrowminded."

...you know, we're not the only ones that can get away with styling our hair as such.. with a little effort, anyone can.. It just lasts a little less.
