I personally think there's a number of reasons for this.

Firstly, being from an Asian source in itself, Asian people will probably be able to relate to it more than non-Asians (ie understand what's going on, in terms of culture, better).
Secondly, you tend to associate with stuff from your source???

That's something different - I've never heard of it being embarrassing.  There may be an age issue - for example, will judge things less, based on common perceptions, as they get older.

Or maybe he was reading some ecchi manga =P

Tetris999 Wrote:its not like i can run around school and say "i like to watch anime! w00t!". It would be just too weird coming from someone like me, but its not weird for anyone who is asain (eastern people?) to be reading and watching stuff like it

I think anyone running around saying "i like to watch anime! w00t!" would be considered weird... :S

I really don't know the social culture at your school.  From what I can tell, it's a little more "racist" and people have more deeply rooted stereotypical ideologies than I've seen at the many schools I've been at. (or maybe, you're a little too sensitive to things)
You will really have to determine it yourself.  Of course, nothing's stopping you from hiding anything >_>  And besides, I'm sure close friends will understand.
