I had a friend who was Chinese, raised in Sumatra, who had no idea the term was offensive. I believe in this country it derives from the treatment of the Japanese during WW2, but I could be wrong.

Yes, I was refering to the phrase's history if usage in the US. I guess it's ok with some people, just not any that I know.
