What's weird about a white dude referring to himself as 'watashi'? I'm a white dude and I have done that plenty of times.

"watashi" is the more feminine form of "I/me". "boku" or "ore" is more masculine. More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_pronouns

yeah I get that. But it's not unusual for a man to use it in a formal setting.
