Seems to be that it can be applied to many people on this board imho.
In which category are you?
This part made me especially think about people I know
Citation: | Once a person has outlasted the working holiday crowd and honed his Japanese skills he is in mortal danger of mutating into an indigenous wannabe. A raging supremacy complex will likely kick in with devastating consequences for this individual’s likeability as a human being. The issue now is how to distinguish himself. Indigenous wannabes are keen to tell anyone who will listen about their love of something slightly arcane - sumo, natto, enka, it doesn’t matter what - in order to stake an indigenous claim. Provincial wannabes may imitate the rustic flavours of their local Japanese dialect. Make what you will of a person so undistinguished as to have to resort to travelling overseas in order to steal a foreign yahoo’s identity.
