I'm certainly not gonna turn into another Debito, but I know what "gaijin" means and where it comes from, and I know that nobody really says it in a nice, innocent way.
Either way, that's why this thread is about "gaikokujin". However, you answered my question when you told me that the 国 refers to Japan.
Pretty much satsifies my question.

I know you are "in the trenches" so I hope my words are taken with the spirit intended. As a "veteran" sometimes I speak differently to actualists compared to those in fantasy mode. And Kudos to you for doing it.
It sounds like you got your answer...
