Sorry to hear about that. People are just afraid of difference.

Yeah, at least when I lived in Japan, I could actually understand what they were saying about us, and those saying usually didn't realize it. My gf actually thought it was hilarious when I would respond to their comments in Japanese. The look on their faces was usually either that of embarassment or one of "I hope the gaijin doesn't beat my azz". Also, used to crack up when someone would make a comment saying she must like really big ones to be dating a gaijin, to which I would usually comment to them in Japanese slang that actually I was hung like a peanut. Amazing some of the things people would say right in front of you thinking you wouldn't understand what they were saying.
