Okay, so there’s this girl that I used to be extremely close to, we got along really well and had lots of fun and jokes with each other. I knew that she liked Anime, so I thought I could perhaps introduce her to K-Pop. I told her about how I really like K-Pop, to which she replied that she listened to it when she was 8, but only a little bit (this was actually a lie lmaooo). At the time, I thought this was awesome, as one of my good friends could also like K-Pop. So, I told her about my bias group, BTS, and she looked disappointed at the fact that she had no idea who they were, she also seemed annoyed that I, quote on quote, “knew something more Asian than her”. So stupid. Anyway, almost a year passed, it’s Feb 2017 now, and she started sending me snapchats of her listening to BTS, SEVENTEEN, etc. I got so happy, she liked K-Pop and I thought it would be nice to share a common interest like this with one of my closest friends. However, if I’m quite honest, it grew to be really awful.
She was already a weeaboo to begin with.
- She told me that she wouldn’t care about the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki if it wasn’t for the fact that it was the Japanese that had been bombed.
- She got excited one time when, for whatever reason, I said something along the lines of “….if this happened you would be Japanese.”
- She always jokingly called herself a weeaboo to conceal the fact that she really was one.
- Whenever someone said “Japan” she would scream Japanese phrases and common words or would grab her trusty Japanese dictionary and start looking for words.
- Told me she would make me a weeaboo if it was the last thing she did.
- Claimed to be of Asian descent because one of her very distant relative is Chinese, (like centuries back.)
But then she slowly became a koreaboo, then eventually just an “asiaboo”. She got obsessed with a boy in my year for the pure fact that he was Chinese and she even went to the extent of singing Chinese songs about love to him. She would scream Korean songs down my ears just to make a point that “Hey I know this song! Wow Asia!”, it also gets annoying when trying to work. She also on a few occasions sang that annoying Gwiyomi song to me and would write down Korean, Japanese and Chinese words.
To be honest, I really want her to act normal again, we used to be really close, but now I dread the lessons I have to sit next to her in, because I know that a sh*t storm of Japanese, Korean and Chinese is coming my way. She used to be a great friend of mine, but now she makes me feel so uncomfortable with her Asian ‘fetish’. I so badly want to tell her than the way she acts is wrong and annoying, but I really don’t know how, as I did tell her on one occasion, but she has blatantly ignored it and continued to 'bombard’ me with her Asian addiction.
My only hope of actually 'escaping’ her, is by requesting to sit elsewhere in my classroom or waiting until next year, and choosing to sit next to those who won’t go crazy on me.
