Why people won't use the "n" word but...

Will have no qualms about using the term "Jap" when describing a Japanese person.

I have many Japanese friends and I'm even in a relationship with one. I know for a fact that many see the term "Jap" as being derogatory.

Ironically, many that will use that term will never use the "n" word.

So is the term used out of ignorance or to express true despise?
