You aren't wrong the process usually goes.
>Gee I sure like Sailor Moon
>Everything in Japan is awesome just like my Japanese anime's
>Am I Kawaii desu? What do you mean everyone in Japan doesn't like my Japanese anime's?
>Gee I sure wish I was Japanese then I'd have a gf for sure. This one could also apply to sexpats but those guys usually get laid
But it always starts at anime and grows out from that warped obsession with anime. You aren't going to see a guy wishing they were Japanese because they read the Tale of Genji or Tales of the Heike or really admite Shinto shrines. It just isn't happening.

You know I get that language evolves and shit but I really hate how this keeps happening. You have a word that works at describing a particular type of persom replaced by what is essentially a vague insult.
