Overview
Efficient as the Japanese language is, gaijin means non- Japanese, lumping the rest of the world together into one pot -- a clearly defined way of looking at the world, I think, an us-versus- them mentality which defines a lot of Japanese culture. No hyphenated labeling of cultural heritage in Japan, no Chinese- Japanese or American-Japanese. Even people with mixed heritage, say a person with a Korean great-grandmother, gets put into the gaijin category.
