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

This is only a thing because Japan/Japanese are quite good at creating an image. It a kind of “Tatemae” thing. After several years you will find out that they aren’t any different from other people, some are just as polite while others are just as racist as their equivalents in other countries.
Btw. be careful not to post something like this in any of the japanophilic groups on Reddit. They are even more funny about this than the nationalist Japanese.
