It's hard to define this word. Basically a pseudo-intellectual is originally an average person who have the ability to absorb information but unable to do anything with it.
A pseudo-intellectual isn't exactly dumb, but he/she certainly isn't on par with a truly intelligent person.
A truly intelligent person understands "pattern", he doesn't need to read the newspaper on a daily basis to know what's happening around the globe, but rather he can accurately predict what would happen in a period of time. (This is exactly how people like Darwin was able to come up with Evolution, things come in pattern).
Characteristics of a pseudo-intellectual:
- Bragging about what college he is going to without giving a good legitimate reason. (Someone went to Cornell just to get a teaching degree)
- Using big words and foreign words in his/her writing or daily language in an un-necessary amount. (Someone who describes himself as a proponent of "independent citizens' movement")
- Inclined to join an Extremist Political Faction (Both right & left)
- See my 2nd point, except he/she lists a LARGE amount of bands/books/quotes in his biographies on his/her Facebook page.
- Being a Grammar Nazi (because they are too snobby and profound to understand what you've said when you left out the 's' at the end of a plural noun).
- Name is more important than inner quality (e.g. someone who claims Einstein as the Greatest scientist ever lived but doesn't know what he did.)

African American music with a hidden racial/political agenda.
hip hop today have generally 2 sides:
The first sings about girls, love and 'mama' accompanied with a soft & smooth beat to indicate the tenderness within the African American community.
The second is a more rough and jumpy tune with violence/hyper-sexual themed music video that shows the manliness and powerfulness of the blacks.

Cartoon made by brown skinned short Japanese men in order to appeal themselves to White Females.
Regardless of who made it, Anime itself is a particularly interesting 2-dimensional straight-line drawing with traits such as unrealistic body proportions, bizarre physiognomy, pedo-morphic body types and a slower than average frame-rate compared to your Western Cartoon.
Also, let's not forget the horrible translation dubbing.

To watch Anime isn't solely to appreciate the artistic-ness of it, but treat it as a gateway into the 'Perverted' Japanese Mind.
