We already have a poll Is the word "Gaijin" a racist slur?, but I would like to be more specific on what it means to each of us when we hear the word "gaijin". Please vote for all that apply.
"You are an outsider and will never belong to Japanese society" (exclusion)
"You are an outsider, ignorant of Japanese ways" (cultural ignorance)
"You are different from us ! Hahaha !" (childish differentiation)
"You are not Japanese, but I am" (opposition)
"You are not a Japanese national" (on the passport)
"You are not an ethnic Japanese" (different looks)
"Wow ! You are better than me !" (awe)
