Gaijin

My Chinese neighbour Sherman C. whispered that the Japanese are like the Eloi in the franchise The Time Machine of H.G. Wells. I guess that the Morlocks may be those whom the Japanese call "gaijin."

Not all of them are gaijin hunters.

Tom is a gaijin.

The peculiar position of his group, according to Mr. Okimoto, is shown by the Japanese habit of referring to such persons as either nisei or nikkeijin —of Japanese descent—instead of calling them gaijin, that is, foreigners, or identifying them by nationality.

The sarariman had been Japanese, but the Ninsei crowd was a gaijin crowd.

And I did not intend to live my life as a gaijin—not merely, like the expatriate, someone by definition permanently out of place but someone unwanted as well.

[...] I was placed in the gaijins' dormitory area up on the third floor.

Oh's pitchers later acknowledged that they were instructed—under penalty of a fine—to throw no strikes to the gaijin.
