lets see... so there are people who hate blacks, a large percent of the world. jews, again a large percent for the world, Muslims, again , about 1.5/6th of the world. Chinese are commies, thats another 1/6th of the world. whites are usually trash, Europeans are fags, middle eastern... already covered. Africans... aids, blacks. Amerikkkans.... self explanatory. Christians of course , we hate those fuckers too. and you hate yourselfs for being major losers.

Congratulations emo kid, you hate the world and guess what? the world hates your guts too.

Would a Japanese person living outside of Japan be considered a gaijin?

>>119 in the most technical terms yes but nobody ever used it that way.

my sister in law is a freakin' weeabo, she tries to use what limited japanese vocabulary she has in conversation.

respecting and liking other cultures are all fine and good but trying to be something that you're not?.....go kill yourself already.

Am I the only one under the opinion that the word "gaijin" is only used by the people the word is refering to, if even that.

What i know is that word gaijin describes a foreigner living in Japan. Now, why is this word used so often on th internet as a word with almost the same significance as the word "noob" or more like "wannabe Japanse noob" word (and yes i know the word wapanese exists)

Can everyone please stop using the word gaijin. Which is an insulting word [if a foreigner (in Japan) if it's told to him but a Japanese.] ((no idea what this means))

122 Name: Anonymous : 2007-05-27 04:25 ID:ZSn9ck4D

i hate it when people call me white, like ive got something in common with everyone else with white skin. i dont hate whites are black or whatever they are because you cant put them into a category like that. they only have the same colour skin. i hate certain people just because of their actions and opinions.i can understand it when people would hate to be called black because i feel the same when people call me white. 'Black' has such a negative connatation, as if they are less human. This of coarse is just total bullshit from past generations. But when someone says 'white' it makes you sound like some racist arsehole who thinks their better then everyone else. Which to me is just as insulting.

>>120

>liking other cultures are all fine and good but trying to be something that you're not?.....go kill yourself already.

This is justified.Someone acting as though they are born and breed in a different culture is pretty retarded. But when you talk about being 'something your not'. Where is it written as to how we have to be. Just because someone is japanese does not mean they have to stick to some code of how a japanese must live. Your (>>120) probably not implying this but it's a good example for me to bring up the topic.

I may have a bias opinion because i live in a multicultural society where there really is no hint of a set way to live (even though there are stereotypes about what Australians are like), but i thought i'd put it out there.

And don't bother giving racist comments back. You'll only look like some sad self-centred child, complaining that you can't get your way.
p.s. sorry for the long post

Gaijin is not inherently a "bad" word. It only becomes bad in the wrong context.

I was born in Japan, but raised in America. My English is pretty good, better than my Japanese even.

It's very much so possible, but even then, even if you lived there for 20 years, you'll still get treated like a foreigner by people who don't know you.

I personally think that Gaijin isn't really offensive. It's just a reference to a foreigner. It's a bit funny, where I live in Canada has a huge local asian population, so whenever we have caucasians move in and such, they're branded as gaijin or wai di ren.

Vancouver is well known for that. That and rain. And a great indie music scene.
Also, the drugs. Hope that doesn't affect 2010 negatively in anyway.

In japan 外人(ガイジン/がいじん/gaijin)meaning "FOREIGNER"
"The man from out of this cuntry".

But in Chinese character and In Chinese. more basic mean separation.

"外" is meaning "out" , "人" is meaning "human"
sometimes foreigner misunderstands it.
The meaning is translated direct literally.
Gaijin is ...so 外..out...人...human... "Out of human" ?
Hey! Japanese and Japnan is so Racial discrimination cuntry!!
YES! I understood! Eureka!!!

WRONG.
Now you say "Nice guy", but you don't image Guy Fawkes.
gaijin(外人) is a one sentence word meaning "FORINER" in japan.

sometime anti japanese foriner say "Japan is so
Racial discrimination country. becouse they use gaijin,
U konw that mean? It's "Out of Human"..."
W R O N G !.

Because wanted to explain about this matter. thanks.

Thanks for the explanation.

I always thought of gaijin as being quite normal and inoffensive.

Terms like "hakujin", "kurombo" and "inchiki gaijin" are what would generally be regarded as racist.

147 Name:   : 2007-08-04 23:35 ID:Heaven

"hakujin"(白人) is mening directry trancerate "white (skined) men"
no include racial discrimination.
(same type "kokujin"(黒人) is "black (skined) men" so.)

but sometime talker use case not "where come from" but "hakujin"(White men)
He talk about use not White men but White race,
and he use include some will "Racial discrimination" mean.

On the other hand, "kuronbo" is include clear racial discrimination.
It's direct mean "blacky". It is used for a Japanese translation of "nigger"
Generally, it is not used so much.
(same type word "sironbo" is so mean "Whity".)

"inchiki gaijin" is not hear so mach. direct mean "Fraud foringer".
that sound like not "The foreigner swindles it." but "Imitation gaijin".
because it is very good at japanese so mach and said japanese
"You are not come from out there" gaijin.(example:David Mark “Dave” Spector)
