Stereotypes maybe?

Ok so I'd just like to know why people are completely shocked when I say I like anime (by like I'm mean love :3) I posted the pic because slot if times it's people who don't know me like at all lol but many people iv talked to for awhile still are shocked XD
My freshman year I had my Japanese teacher say to me "WOW you like anime " and I'm like yea and he says " I just really didn't think u where the type.
But what's the type? Why's that so shocking to people... Iv been watching anime and reading manga for like 6 years lol I'm not new to it or anything lol ...
Soo anyone gave any idea why this is , kuz I'm lost by it :)

I hear you! I also love anime and Dr.Who and I might be a pegasister as well (I would find some hobbies but I'm bad at everything) the stereotype of an otaku is basically an over weight nerd with no friends a.k.a not most otakus. But frankly I've been to cons and I've seen so many people who love anime and it really is just a bad sterotype. If I where you I'd get a bunch of anime t-shirts and really just be like yea! I like anime, got a problem with that? and prove them all wrong!

Anime is normally an Asian thing, isn't it? I mean, stereotypically. And you don't look dorky lol, so that's probably it. ^^

The type? What the crap? What's 'the type.' Ugh, I hate it when people do that!

There isn't a LotR fan stereotype, is there? I don't want to be 'that type.'
