Being Japanese or not has nothing to do with it. I think that girl is vastly misinformed or did it to make herself feel like she was better than you. If you look at the casts of Japanese anime, one would see that on staff they have a lot of Koreans. Usually it seems to be cel painting jobs, but even Koreans and Chinese people also have their own types of animation that are drawn in a similar style and *also* called anime by some fans. Anime is really just any kind of animation or any kind of "cartoon" because the word anime is only a shorthand term for animation. I have some old anime magazines and in the TV listings section, they have Ameircan cartoons also listed like X-men and sometimes Disney.
I agree with you. It makes a lot of sense. I just wish that more people could understand these sorts of things.
