I'm not going to try and battle you on home turf, but please don't confuse people on the use of gaijin. Obviously in colloquial Japanese the term applies to non-Japanese (specifically westerners, one of which jogloran is not
) but the formal (and more appropriate meaning) is still
"one from a foreign place", rather than one of a specific background. The meaning in contemporary Japanese is currently changing but you can not say that "gaijin" no longer means "outsider", which (to put it bluntly) here you clearly are.
edit: I thought I made it clear before that none were to use the term "jap" anyway? It's roots are in wartime propaganda, it offers nothing for cultural advancement, and it's a particularly ugly sound anyway. Hence, nobody uses it anyway. (or I edit you)
