You are totally out of context in this post.
Do you think no japanese people wants to register in this forum? I think maybe the language is a big wall for a lor of people (like here in Spain for example).

I use the word "Jap" all the time because it's easier to write and for me the faster I write the better I read... (odd I know). But only because of that.. in fact I use a lot of other words like "gr8" which are not even words...
And I must confess I'm a huge admirer of the japanese culture so I would never offend the "japs" 
About that vynil...where was that shop JamiroquainPt? I want it, I need it................................. !

i know when Europeans like you use "Jap", they mean only abbreviation.
but my friend&my dictionary&alot of japanese sites says its very bad meaning when Americans use it. |
this is racist thinking, actually.
come on, that adjective was refered to an item, how can it be intended in a racist way? 
trust your common sense more than dictionaries! |
i just understood why some Japanese have never wanted to register on this site. i see.
anyway,
im going to study Chinese for my dear Chinese friend.
now i sincerely think i have to study our real history more and more.
because its so impolite never to understand their delicate feelings.
i learned this thing from here. really thanks all.   |
This remember me when I used to live in Brasil.
In my country we ofter use the adjetive 'negro' (black) with our friends and ppl we know, in fact, I call my GF as 'negra', and nobody feels offended about that.
but in brasil, their interpretation of 'negro' is an racists insult, which is totally a lie. but that is how they think about that word.
I think often the ppl who feels offended by a single word is more racists that the ppl who use that word. |

Let me have that question : Are we talking about a Jamiroquai-release, or "just" about racism??? Is it ugly when we use Jap for japanese???... I can´t understand it !?!  
And I thought we are here to talk about the Space Cowboy???
...pretty ugly... (no comment)... Sry for that....

It's very difficult but we can't try.

the previous posts talk about racism!
any term that is derogatory or considered a slur is discriminating when spoken against a group, even if you don't realize it!
gook -Asian
wop -Italian
Jap -Japanese
and JAP can also mean "Jewish American Princess" (a coworker used this term all the time who hated waiting on the local over-privileged women)
and never, ever, say the N word |
