Kaiya's katakana Japanese
Ken Yasumoto-Nicolson
misfortune of seeing her twice this week.
She seems to have a new gimmick or two. The first is using an English
word, pronounced with a proper America-go accent, randomly in
sentences, not replacing unknown Japanese vocabulary, but just for
simple words - two I remember were "village" and "baby", for instance.
If that wasn't irritating enough, she also now pronounces her Japanese
with a phrasebook accent - you know, like the people who say
"HEE-ROW-SHEE-MAY, coupled with kiddie-like grammar, and the
subtitles' okurigana all in katakana.
Grr, it really irritates me how most of the white & black gaigins on
entertainment shows have acts that show them as Japanese-impaired.
Oh, and I've noticed on "Iitomo" (that weekday morning show (I watch
the Sunday comnpilation) with TAMORI or someone) they have two
English-teacher-like gaigin hanging about the talents on every show,
but I've never heard them speak - what's the deal with them?

Aside from the guys you don't like...what's the story on GAIGIN? I read it
more often in this NG than anywhere else. As a matter of fact, this is the
only place where I have ever come across it...
Does it have a different meaning compared to 'gaijin'... which is the proper
romanized term for foreigner, outsider, etc.?

Well spotted.
Watch out for the low-lying shibboleths....

I never thought to goggle it, but 1,600,000 does seem surprising.

Searching for "gaijin" with a filter excluding the word "anime" reduces this
number to 101,000.
Searching again with a filter excluding "teaching" reduces this number further
to 85,900.
Food for thought. There are too many damned nerds out there.
