What connotation does the term "gaijin" have for you ?

I think the admin of this site really dislikes Japanese people. It's not a very positive set of choices, is it?

I don't think there is any perfect answer to the poll because "gaijin" means different things at different times depending on the context of the conversation, the person who is speaking, and their attitude towards foreigners.

Please propose more choices based on your own reflection on the meaning of "gaijin".

I did not intent this poll to give a single answer. That is why it is a multiple choice. See it as a "choose all that you think may be true in at least some situation, and leave out those that never apply".
