Right.
You may not be winning this argument, here.

I laughed out loud
As my gran (who is Japanese) quite happily called herself a nip. As well as saying 'the nips are crazy bastards' when she was addressing something. Said my grandad was a 'nip'. Yet all Japs hate the term 'nip'.

Is Jap racist? Sorry! Japanese.

I'm not arguing this point further. I'm laughing at most of the responses of the self-righteous anyway.

Let's put this in context.
You get the difference between, for example, a black man calling himself a nigger, me calling a black friend a nigger, and me calling a black stranger a nigger?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves,

Yes, I do
And I would never actually CALL a black stranger a nigger.

You'd go to the trouble of getting their trust first before offending them?

So, in other words, you don't get the difference.

of course it's not you idiot
people try not to be racist to other people as much these days, what do you want to do, turn back time to the good old days of bigotry and hatred

Where the fuck are you getting this from?
I used it in one way on a messageboard. And if you remember me saying it you might remember me saying I find Jap men attractive.

Just because I use a word, it doesn't mean I intend the malice behind the ORIGIN of the word.

no sammi you were defending your use of the word by saying your nan didn't mind it
therefore it is ok to use it because, surely not all japanese people find it offensive, funny enough most do, they also don't like to be called japs as you put it, but you carry on using racist derogatory remarks to your hearts content, i can not be bothered with your ignorance or inability to accept facts put to you
