DEFINITION AND PERCEPTION OF THE WORD 'GAIJIN'

• History change of the word
• The first visited Japan were Portuguese in 1542
  called Nanbanjin (???) (literally "southern
  barbarians")
• In Edo period Japan took the politic of sakoku
• When it was opened again, the foreigners were
  called Ijin (??) (contraction of Ikokujin
  (???) (different motherland people)
• In Meiji period the japanese called themselves
  as Naikokujin (???), so the term gaikokujin
  (???) appeared, gaikoku (foreign country) and
  jin (person)
• Politically correct?

• There is still people who don't want to accept
  foreigners, because increase the rate of
  criminality,afraid of the directlness and
  loudness, there is also phobia of foreigners)
• The difficulties of understand others lifestyles
  ans habits

• But because of the influence of mass media there
  are many people who tend to imitate and want to
  have a relationship with a foreigner ( but most
  of the time with an 'hakujin' white people)
• Young people want to study in abroad, it's
  changing the image of the foreigners, the mixture
  is now becoming popular

CONCLUSION
With the globalization there will be more and
more foreigners in Japan, it is necessary to have
a mutual understanding and tolerance. And I think
that it is not so hard as we (foreigners)
imagine.
