I don't hang out with other foreigners in Japan unless they speak Japanese all the time and incredibly fluently. It's my way of keeping myself focused on learning Japanese and also not living in my own bubble of western culture.

When I see douchey gaijins in Japan it irritates me, because I hate the thought that anyone here might associate me with them. It's bad enough that when I was looking for a girlfriend every chick I dated assumed I was some extent of a slut/playboy because I'm white.
