No Japanese person has so much disrespect for foreigners in this age except the mafia and splinter politic groups, because to be a child in Japan means you must learn English under a foriegner during junior and high school, and to be an adult means your children are taught by foriegners and foriegners are ALWAYS SEEN in non-stereotypical views displayed on TV.

Yeah, if by foreigner you mean only Anglo-Saxon.

When I lived in Japan, the people who used the word gaijin the most were us gaijin. It become like 'nigga'. I got so used to hearing it from my friends, I burst out laughing when a bus driver called me 'gaijin-sama.' All I could think of was 'honorable mister nigga.'

I dunno. They have quite a few programs with blacks, arabs, and so on. They have one show on at night that has a black, an iranian arab, a russian, and malaysian (i think) that all speak japanese proficiently. most blacks over here who are not in the military, counting out an aquainence of mine from wakayama, are run-aways from africa and simply stand in front of hip-hop clothes stores. they make a hell a lot more money than they do in africa.
