My only concern is how the term may evolve to the point that the stereotype spills over to encompass people who legitimately are interested in the finer aspects of Japanese culture. This isn't at all fair to those people.

I know, I have unfortunately experienced this. It's very unfair, the concerned person decided to ignore how I bleed my country's colors and love it to death, and says I want to be Japanese just because I study the language. But no one liked him anyway, he was a mean guy...
Stuff like this is what keeps people in my country from studying other languages. Too many just sit on their butt and expect everyone else to work their butts off learning English.
