simples
That reminds me at Kashihara Nara when an old geezer rode his bike past me and hazed the word "Gaijin".

Another occassion was at Kansai airport as the customs wonker decided to ask about drugs and called me "gaijin san".

My Japanese wife (no longer) interjected with the corrextion to him and pronouced "Gai koko jin" of which he then apologised.

My thinks it is a very rude word
