"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 have come to regard Japan as their permanent home, and object to being regarded by Japanese (in Japan) as gaijin or foreigners."
I don't understand how a phrase like "working away from home" can be perceived as being regarded as foreigners. Doesn't referring to Japan as "home" imply that they are still regarded as true Japanese whose home is Japan? Then why the annoyance? I probably don't understand enough about Japan or Dekasegi (certainly not enough to edit the article and improve it), but I would appreciate it if someone who does could clear up the paragraph a little so that I do understand.
