I have always thought that it was, and most people think that when they are saying "I think I'm turning japanese," they are referring to the way people kind of squint and pull their upper lip back when they do it (therefore making them look like the stereotypical japanese person.) Plus, he talks about looking at some girl's picture and kissing it when he is alone...
But one of my friends recently said that that's not what the song is about. He is only missing the girl so he feels like a foreigner. That doesn't make alot of sense to me... So I just wanted to see if I was right or not. (If not I am going to feel like an idiot.)
Anyways, please don't feel offended by this question. I am not trying to be racist, in fact I don't even like the song myself.

I've got your picture
Of me and you
You wrote "I love you"
I love you too
I sit there staring and there's nothing else to do
Oh it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I often kiss you when there's no one else around
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I asked the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and turning in and turning 'round
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I'm turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
Turning Japanese I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so
I've got your picture, I've got your picture
I'd like a million of them over myself
I want the doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down and tu

Well, that song's quite the blast from the past and you've offered a most interesting interpretation.

I have heard this initially from an Asian co-worker of mine. Also, according to www.soungfacts.com it is about "stroking". here are more songs about that: http://songfacts.com/search_fact.php?addsearch=1&about=More+songs+about+masturbation

It is about masturbation. The band admitted to it.

I've always heard it was, and so is "Shebang" by Cyndi Lauper.
