Maybe its just somebody being too lazy to type out Japanese, or somebody not having enough room on a newspaper headline, or somebody not using it in an offensive way. Not everybody considers the term derogatory, and this was told to me by my Japanese friends. I do find it odd that you would stick up for what many consider the most racist people on the planet.

Dude, you just don't get it! Here's a litmus test for you. Why don't you go into a predominently asian neighborhoood and start calling eveyone "japs" or into Harlem or Compton and use the "n" word? Do you think you'll make many friends? I'd bet you'll come out of there in a body bag.

Yep...cuz that's EXACTLY the same thing dumb¢$$. I hope my African American/ Hispanic wife doesn't learn I'm actually a racist. I just might have to skip out on the family reunion this year.

Can we get back to discussing how Asian pilots are inferior to western pilots?

But guess what, the war is over and that kind of language is just divisive and offensive for the same reason it was necessary during war, using it implicitly states that the slurred group is not deserving of respect or being treated with decency.

Only if you make it divisive and offensive in your own brain. Get over it.

Simply amazing that people are able to ascertain somebody's beliefs over the internet without having met them.

Ever see Gran Torino? It's all about not being a pu$sy. What matters is what's in your heart, and having enough character to know right from wrong- not this PC bs. Besides-I don't view japs as being on par with n****r. It's more like calling Michael "Mike"-

J**s,

Yup, very offensive. Should have just said "the Nips"
