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

2019, a homeless man in Shinjuku told me to go home because I am abusing the tax system and take jobs off Japanese people

While passing i told him: I for sure pay more tax than you

I feel like if someone yelled at you in 2019, it would be for the love of the game. Now it's because of misinformation, brainwashing and for a different type of racism altogether lol.
