I hate it when people use the word "weeaboo" as a derogatory word against anyone who shows even the slightest interest in Japan or anime or even just Asia when they don't even know where the word came from or that it had absolutely nothing to do with anything of the sort. Yes, there are people out there who deserve a title like this, but we already have a made-up word that fills that niche: "fantard."
EDIT: It's no coincidence that the vast majority of the people I've heard utter this word in a derogatory way are dudes who spend too much time playing Call of Duty on their XBox.
