It doesn't need to be aimed at a single race to be racist
No need to try your hardest to be patronizing.

Ofcourse racism is a belief that certain races are superiour.

But I didn't get the vibe that a japanese person expresses the superiority of their race by calling them "foreigner" in a short form.

Anyways I'm done with this thread, too much of a hassle. Tell your gf and any japanese people you can find to lighten up and not be offended by a term not directed at them. That's this gaijins two cents.
