Why do you think skin color is the driving factor? People normally consider each other aliens even if they have the same skin color.

  I'm asking OP if they do because of this line: >being a white American, I came to grasps that I would always be a Gaijin,

    I find that Americans give to much weight to the skin color, it has the historical reasons there but often can't be applied in the same way outside the US.

      Yeah. FWIW as a white British/Irish guy, I've felt comfortable in Japan. (I've had racism here, but I got it in the UK too).

      I think they meant white as in of European ancestry. It applies as making one obviously not of Japanese ancestry.

    I thought they specified as they could've been Asian American, not because their race is the cause.
