'71 here! We SO loved all the Robotech/Macros stuff back in the day. We'd never seen anything like it!
But yeah, I block about every anime group I find because it's either hyper-sexualized little girls or furry fucking.
So for me, it has nothing to do with it being Japanese in origin. Hell, we were the original weeaboos. And for that matter, my wife is half Japanese.
As for the rest of GenX? Obviously I can't speak for all of us, but I'm not sure I've heard anyone say, "I don't like that Japanese/Russian/communist art/entertainment." That would be weird.
