> "gaijin dame" (no foreigners allowed)

I recognize the word "dame" from playing the game of Go, where it means [1] a neutral point of no value. Curiously, that page says "It also has the everyday Japanese meanings of bad, don't do it."

So foreigners are bad, don't do them :-)

It also means "cannot; must not; not allowed "
