The original Japanese word ''dekasegi'' (出稼ぎ) roughly translates as "working away from home". This can cause annoyance to those of Japanese descent who were born abroad, but have come to regard Japan as their permanent home, and therefore object to being regarded by Japanese (in Japan) as '' Gaijin '' or foreigners. There are approximately 275,000 such people in Japan from Brazil alone. Most are bilingual in Japanese and Portuguese or Spanish . SEE ALSO
