I think all too often people fail to make the very, very important distinction between being referred to as "gaijin" and being called "gaijin".
I also fail to find an appropriate answer in the poll and am abstaining from participating in it.
"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)
Don't know
