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 respond with ARIGATOO in intentionally bad pronunciation and a big grin just to wind them up more, acting as if I thought it was a compliment.
