Seriously?
Jap is short for Japanese. It's commonly used when describing electronics or items that are made in Japan as opposed to Taiwan or China due to the fact that Japanese goods are of much higher quality. So yeah, its normal to qualify something as JAP in front of the item to differentiate it. beloved patriot isn't short for anything. They aren't chinkenese people.
Jap used to have negative meaning especially right after WWII when the servicemen used the term in a derogative manner, however, much like the term "ricer" once meant someone who simply drove an import now means someone who modifies a foreign car, it has changed over time to simply describe someone or something as from Japan. The negativity once associated with the word has fallen off.
I would have personally shot all adults responsible. 0 tolerence is a good thing.
what i'm saying is that nationalities such as 'chinese' and 'japanese' don't have a noun to describe their people (in our language). you know, like, american, canadian, mexican...or say, frenchman, englishman.
they get left with chinaman and jap. not my fault.
No it hasn't. Please use it out in public and let us know.
That poor kid. Where are his parents? Those adults should have been arrested.
Yes it is. Climb out of that hole you are living in.
Jap is an English abbreviation of the word "Japanese." Today it is generally regarded as an ethnic slur, although English-speaking countries differ in the degree to which they consider the term offensive. In the United States, Japanese Americans have come to find the term controversial or offensive, even when used as an abbreviation.[1] In the past, Jap was not considered primarily offensive; however, during and after the events of World War II, the term became derogatory.[2]

In the United States the term is now considered derogatory; the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary notes it is "usually disparaging".[5] In the United Kingdom it is considered derogatory, and the Oxford dictionary defines it as offensive.[6]

This is in China. Kid looks to be one of the minorities from the west, which probably didn't help when surrounded by angry Hans. The situation is similar to America's Old Far West (Hans don't regard the natives very highly). That beatdown is relatively minor; the worst will come from his master.
Is there a context in which using the word "beloved patriot" is appropriate?
same here. like 'jew'.
what are you supposed to say? "a japanese?" if they can't conjugate their nationality in a way where i don't have to put 'person' on the end, fuck them, it's getting shortened.
The comment in the Liveleak video states that his hand was crushed because he bumped into an old lady while walking down the sidewalk. Watching this made me want to kick that guy's ass. (The guy who was kicking the kid in the head.)
