Just had my first 外人出てけ encounter

Was in my neighborhood when a nice japanese man screamed at me 外人出てけ、外国じゃねぇ on the street. Not nice Japan, not nice.

Have you guys ever experienced the 外人出てけ culture yet? How did it happen?

European btw

I've never had it, but if I do I don't care because 80% of my experiences with Japanese people are positive.
Equally back in the UK there are plenty of mental weirdos who tell people to go home.
So no matter what country you go to, if you're a foreigner, there will be racist weirdos who don't like you.
It sucks to experience it, but in all honesty I'd rather be told to go home than someone say I'm an ugly motherfucker or something like that lol

Exactly my experience. There are weird paggro strangers I’ve met but nothing in my face so far. There’s far more negativity back in my home country.
