>nigger>negro>black>POC>wakandiansJews complained about how "gaijin" (foreigner), polite form: gaijin-san, was insulting, because even 10-20 years ago everyone noticed that the white-collar expat foreigners acted a little worse than japanese themselves and it started to carry a somewhat negative connotation. So jews got the japanese government to force "gaikokujin" on everyone, which just adds "country" to the word, making it "foreign country person", which is redundant and stupid.
