This is how I look at it: if they aren't bothered by it, why would you make a point of it? I especially hate it when non-japanese get all worked up about the word "jap".

You won't find any japanese getting upset, when a black guy is being called a n***a. or an asian being called gook.

See this discussion thread: http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.22.htm

That's a rash generalization.

Maybe some won't be offended, but others will be... So do you just ignore those who are offended?

That's wrong.

I know this, but African-Americans do get offended when u say N word, but they will not tell u this, it has gone on for years, it just get more sadder and sadder, why do u think alot of African-Americans are so angry and they act how they do, they have gotten so lost over the years they are losing there own identity. so u cannot say we will not get upset, becaus we will. i myself have been called alot of bad names growing up, and i could not defend myself, but i am proud to be Carribean & Chinese because this is who i am and i love it, so i hate it when other Minorites of Asian American or African American decent are put down, it hurts so bad, so please dont say we dont get hurt, or just blow it off, because it stick with us forever! :shakehead:

People how make general comments due to their own ignorance.

Ah, don't get me wrong, I don't go around using racial slur or something. But my point is if they don't mind themselves, why worry about it on behalf of them? Just let them be.

Especially when it's something personal.

But the point is, it doesn't bother SOME. I'm sure it bothers many others. So to say that "they" don't mind, is a huge generalization.

And, to take it a step further, you're actually discriminating against a group of people based on a few individuals.

I know you mean well, but sometimes you need to reevaluate what you say so that you DON'T offend peeps, ya know? :victory:

er..I think you guys are misunderstanding me, with "they", I meant the ones who don't care, they. Leave them be? Especially when they are Japanese themselves and we are not, what gives us the right to judge?

either way enough of this, let's talk about something else:

is that lipstick yours? :hehe: :hehe:
