well in my area JAP stands for Jewish American Princess... term is usually given to spoiled brats won't drive anything less than a BMW or MB. or wear anything that doesn't cost 100 dollars and under.

 

To me, it carriesdisrespectful implications.40s reference to wikipedia's description is how Iperceive it, so I wouldn't address someone Japanese in that way, even if they didn't get offended by it... just out of respect for the whole race...Also, like Firkan said,certain jokes have their place in that as well...

 

Oh the topics we cover here on Honda Civic Forum...

 

Why are you asking a car forum? Go find one on the street and call him that, if he beats your *** then its offensive....if not well then you get an answer either way.

 

***** is offensive..but i dont think Jap is, its just short form

I was told "rice" is offensive to people..really

 

I should be more clwear about what i said before. I in now way condone racism. as a joke i could care less. but when that same situation is taken into real events then the line has been crossed no matter how small

 

This is off topic. Not about cars. Douche Bigalow

I think people being so offended by words alone is immature. I mean I'm white and all but you dont hear me whinning, bitching, complaining, and pulling the race card when I see black people calling whites honky's or cracka's. In the end what does it really matter?

 

Exactly
