Japanimaniacs

Apologies.
This first post is a vent.
BG: I love my Japanese class in Japan. A couple of the people in it were.....[insert expletives], but other than that, it was great. Most of the people in it were down to earth, genuinely interested in learning the langauge, and fairly normal. The problem is the kind of students that study Japanese in the states.
The class I am enrolled in now is disgusting. Full to the brim with the kind of people that embarrass the U.S. when they take their little prepackaged lunchbox of U.S. adapted manga and anime culture, and their overly dramatized "Japanese" accents and go to Japan in their own little dream world. Can't someone learn Japanese without being completely socially inept or having no sense of actual reality, or both? It's unbelievable.
