insult regarding someone (usually white) who is a fan of japanese culture including anime fans. although people inside japanese fandom make distinctions between who is really wapanese and who isn't, the common perception to those outside of fandom is that anyone inside this fandom is open to the insult.
anime lover: I'm not really wapanese because I'm not obsessed with all things japanese.
japophile: I'm not really wapanese because I study japanese history instead of just using japanese words in conversation.
baka baka: I'm not really wapanese just super-kawaii because I'm not obsessed with japanese food.
pocky man: I'm not really wapanese because I don't pay harajuku girls to follow me around.
gwen stefani: I'm not really wapanese because it's not like I pay my harajuku girls to talk to me... right? heyyy, where is everybody? Oh, whew, at least Angel, Music, Love and Baby are still here.

A Caucasian person with an unhealthy obsession with the Japanese culture. They worship an idealized thought of the nation, and typically aspire to move there. They take cannibalized form of Japanese speech, integrate it into English, and consider themselves more kvlt and Asian than anyone else. Common hallmarks of a wapanese: excessively pale, has a fetish for homosexual Japanese males, collects swords, claims to be a master at martial arts, eats Pocky, dines at Asian restaurants whenever possible, lives and breathes anime, does their own translations horribly, refuse to listen to anything but Japanese music, claim said music is better than any Western music, and lives on manga forums.
A lot of the people at anime conventions are wapanese.

This means a person who wishes so badly to be japanese, but only watch's anime, think about being a harajuku girl/boy, and that japan is the best.
But, if you watch anime, are realated to someone japanese, learnt how to speak enough to be polite and talk in a convo, learnt the history, dress which ever jap style you like (remembering that harajuku is not everyday) and are proud of what you are, Then you are not a wapanese.
Person 1= is from one culture or 2, but not from japan, obssessed with japan, only knows crappy words from anime translations and eats jap food and think they are japanese are a wapanese.
Person 2= comes from one or 2 backgrounds and has one japanese person in the family or more, watches aniem, helps, know the history, speaks 5/10, draws, dresses japanese. Is not a wapanese.
Why? because person 2 is realted to someone jap. Trust me there are people like this.
