You people are simply too damned sensitive. Jap and Nip both came about as simple abbreviations of Japanese and Nipponese...and you know it. If you want to make it racist that is your issue. They called Germans Krauts and other interesting names but those aren't racist.....at least Jap and Nip are acutal abbreviations. If you want to call me a cracker go right ahead as I will simply laugh at you for being a dumbass. I am of German descent too so go ahead and call me a Kraut or Jerry it sure isn't going to bother me.
BTW, the more people bitch and moan about terms like Jap the more I am going to be inclined to use them. Grow some damned skin. This goes right along with the whole Oriental thing...that one is even funnier to listen to people bitch about.
