So, calling this "xenophobia" is ridiculous (I wonder if this is a child) but it is true from the Japanese perspective that all cartoons are anime. Of course they're not talking about the Japanese perspective but the western term "anime", which has a specific meaning. That's ok. We needed a word for "Japanese cartoons". I bet this weirdo would get offended if we kept using "JAPanimation".
