Yes, that's horrible. Although the Japanese kids always wanted to "pet" the blond hairs on my arms, but they were in elementary school, so I just chalked it up to curiosity and dealt with it. But it never feels good.
Also, the "aunties" would follow me around the supermarket and rifle through my cart, like "What's the gaijin going to eat tonight?" That was rather annoying.

When I was team-teaching English in Japan, one of my Japanese team teachers tried to embarrass me in class by asking me questions in English like "Do you like Britney Spears?" or "Do you eat cheese from a spray-can?"
He was kind of a dick.
