Can an Asian Person Be a Weeaboo?

Yes. "Weeaboo" (from a webcomic filter for "wapanese") describes anyone—regardless of ethnicity—who obsessively idealizes Japanese culture, often adopting mannerisms, language, and aesthetics based on anime/manga stereotypes rather than genuine understanding.

Asian individuals can exhibit this behavior just as non-Asians can. The term critiques performative fetishization, not ethnicity.
