As for racist foreigners, that is quite annoying. One of my mates but it best last weekend when we were talking about one of our other gaijin friends. Basically when you are a gaijin living in an area outside of somewhere like Tokyo, you don't have as many options to pick and choose your gaijin friends. So it basically boils down to you sometimes feeling sorry for the guy who back home you would never talk to but here end up trying to be friends with him even if he is a miserable sod.
As for female gaijin, hmmm, hard to say because I don't want to generalise but sometimes I've heard some complete BS. Take for example the complaint of not being able to find clothes and shoes that fit then they'll immediately label Japanese women as anorexics. Well, a lot of guys have the exact same problems or at least I do. I buy a lot imported clothes because I can't get the jeans to fit my fat, American thighs.
Then there is the complaint that Japanese girls are too girly to hang out with. To which I answer, you're right they are a lot of really girly girls out there but there are some that are really cool too. And if you haven't noticed how vain some Japanese men are, you should expect the women to be a little more feminine to, um, you get the picture I hope. What else is there, how about the ones that say Japanese girls can't dance just because they refuse to shake/rub their ass all over a bunch strangers.
Then you have the fact that every gaijin male is automatically labeled as one with an Asian fetish because he looks/talks to a Japanese girl. Well, I know a lot of guys who are. You can spot them fairly easily because they are the ones constantly trying to get the girl to go home with them after the first date or first conversation and if you are a dude they always start showing you their massive Asian porn collection when you end up at their apartment and making disgusting comments about school girls. *sicko's* But there are a few who happen to be decent guys who just happen to lack the availability of gaijin women who we find attractive or interesting.
