	Gaijin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Now that gaijin has become somewhat politically incorrect, it is common to refer to non-East Asian non-Japanese as gaikokujin while more culturally similar Taiwanese, Chinese, and South and North Koreans are referred to as Taiwanjin, Chugokujin, and Kankokujin and (Kita) Chosenjin, respectively.
		Those who think gaijin is non-offensive argue that the current word is purely a contraction and that these meanings have been lost entirely, while others argue that the original pejorative connotation is still attached to the modern meaning of the word.
		Some foreigners object to gaijin on the basis of it being a contraction similar to the unequivocally hostile "Jap" in English.

	The Mikan Chronicles: Gaijin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		I've been called 'gaijin' more than a few times by children hardly old enough to string together a sentence, let alone realise the differences between Japanese and non-Japanese and articulate this difference.
		However, the fact remains that in lumping all non-Japanese into a group and assigning them a name- be it 'gaijin', 'gaikokujin', or whatever- the Japanese run the risk of themselves being seen as one group- a group of racists.
		To me, the difference between "gaikokujin" and "gaijin" is the difference between the way "negro" and "nigger" was used in 1950s America.

		Ninja Gaijin was one of Nintendo's early attempts to enter the North American videogame market as part of the Gameboy handheld system and was a massive failure.
		The development of Ninja Gaijin was plauged by a lack of development hardware, which lead to testing being carried out entirely on a Nintendo Game and Watch.
		A special-edition version, Ninja Gaijin White, was planned, with more difficult opponents and a special "Ninja Frog" difficulty level where you play the entire game as a frog, but was cancelled due to the low sales of the original.
