I agree with Terren, I think its offensive and just as bad as any other
racial slur. That you lived in Japan and have japanese friends is
meaningless. I don't call even my good black or other minority friends any
sort of slur out of respect. I don't want to go there.
I find the Jap thing rather irritating, to the point where I don't reply to
e-mails from people who use it all the time.
