It may seem odd that SE is basically say the Auri will be no big deal yet treated our ninja friend as such a shock to the general population. If I may I think I can call a real life example of this to show how it is possible.
It was taught to us in school how the Netherlands and Japan had strong trade relations after the Waring States Era. As such we had in Holland several dutch who reacted differently. The affluent educated were acutely aware of Japan and Japanese people. The art and culture even became posh during that time among the wealthy, the original weeboos. The modestly comfortable had a knowledge of Japan but a fuzzy knowledge of Japanese people. No internet meant you had to rely on descriptions in books to know them at all. The uneducated poor had no idea there was even such a place as Japan. Despite being such a strong partner to the nation, the poor masses were to busy surviving to look into it. If they met a Japanese person they may not have reacted politely.
So I can sort of see where SE is coming from. We forget sometimes that there were times when the accumulation of human knowledge was not at everyone's fingertips. And that people without knowledge react...... poorly sometimes.
