if they don’t like being called that it’s racist, if you’re not japanese you have no right to decide what is racist towards them and what isn’t....just a question why would you make a about this?

Read this if your stupid 2 wrote: ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY THIS FUCKED UP!? I make a little joke as if you guys havent and you threaten to ban me and take it al seriously. You guys need to like calm the fuck down or something. Jap is not bad it isnt its like jew. When you see a jewish person you call them a jew witch is normal. same with Jap when you see a person from japan you call then Japs for short they dont care its not a insult. If you call them chink then yea its bad but not jap. Wikipedia can have articals about anything writen by anyone chances are some 50 year old jap who is the only person who finds that word a insult wrote that


No, 'Jap' is a racist term. Jew is jew.

Says the 'japs' and you aren’t 'jap' so you can’t say.

And we shorten Japanese as an insult, not to shorten.

Japanese do not just consider a shortened word.

The Japanese dictionary lists it as offensive and therefore it is.

The Japanese dictionary. But notice we are not in Japan. It is an insult in Japan, not in America.

Only in Japan. In the United States and other English-speaking countries it is just used to reffer to someone who is Japanese.

No, it is still demeaning. You’re not Japanese so you don’t know and can’t decide what is offensive. The Japanese already decided it was offensive so too bad. The word is racist.

IN JAPAN

If you went to Japan yeah you wouldn’t say it, but in any place but Japan it is just a word to reffer to the Japanese.

Why the hell are you making such a big deal anyway? Who really gives a shit if the Japanese think it is offensive?

Me because I am Japanese and find it offensive obviously.

You do know that Japanese people in the U.S. do find it offensive?

Also take notice of the abbreviation for Japan. Notice how it NOT 'jap'.

And? Some black people think being called black is offensive. Does that mean we should just call them African American? No, they are black.

Skin color is NOT 'jap'. We call Mexicans wetbacks, that’s racist. Should it be allowed? No. Jokes are fine if not offending anybody.

Is wetback a short way of calling someone mexican? No, that is a racist slur.

If people in Japan find it racist fine, but Jap is used as a word in the US as a word to describe something from Japan, with no negative connotation implied.
