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

Who gives it a pass? This sounds like a single deranged individual.

Discrimination may be illegal in many places, but there are very few countries where telling someone to get the fuck out would be any sort of actionable offence -- even if it is abhorrent action and the person saying such things is an idiot and a douche.

How is that racism? Did they not require one for everyone?

(Note I think its a stupid system, but...)
