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?

Discuss

I prefer the term Charly...seldom used and not as derogatory as nip,rice ball etc

ya mean 'nips'? yeah I never use the 'n' word

Why is a Japanese acrobatic troup like an Autumn day?

Japs are too short to do anything about it.

:1orglaugh

The same reason you found it okay to use "jap" but not the n-word in your post?

f-word the n-words.

Ummmmmmmmmmm........Charlie was / is for the Viet Nam era "conflict." Not the Japanese of WWII

So,

a "nip-slip" is a Jap taking a fall?

i hear more "n" than i do "j".

then again, i listen to a lot of rap....

Dude your asking a question to incite people for posts. Everyone has their own unique way of dealing with the race question. And put on a different show in different towns and around different people.

Thats the deal, it'll always be the deal.

Who cares

I just call them Japanese like they are.

What gets me tho, is why blacks can call us crackers, white bread, whity, etc etc but if we call them a niger, negro, nigga etc etc they get all upidity and in your face.

Double standard if you ask me.

holy shit! :1orglaugh

I call all my black friends niggas, they don't mind.

I think everyone can say it, just don't abuse the word. :thumbsup

They all know kung-fu though.

Yes but just dodge the first couple of kicks, they tire easy, something about that dog/squid diet or something of that nature.

Aren't you a smart cookie? And how the hell was I supposed to post this without using the word?

Jap is short for Japanese, and that's where it ends for me.

Hey, I get called Canuck a lot, which is a derivitive of Canadian. Does it fucking bother me?

Not in the least.

I say no all the time

why....why?

The difference is you'll get your ass kicked by a black guy if you call him a NIGG... you'll just get a funny look if you call a japanese person a Jap. (I prefer the later)

****

what are you talking about "people won't use the 'n' word?" i hear it used almost everyday. i'm getting pretty numb to it now.

Personally, I find it best to use something less offensive.

I was driving around in LA one day and I saw a mexican driving a low rider with a bumper sticker that said "Brown Pride", later in that same trip, I saw a riced out Honda with a vietnamese guy driving it that also had the same bumper sticker.

Having seen this, I derived that they are both proud to be of brown skin tone.

That in mind, instead of trying to deduce the nationality of a brown person, I refer to them all as Brownies. Japanese=Brownie, Mexican=Brownie, Panamanian=Brownie, Korean=Brownie, Eskimo=Brownie.

I mean think of it, everyone lumps white people together when they see a white guy. So I think it's fair.

Yeah, white people should unite and form a group to cry about it.

I remember being with a group of friends once, with 2 black guys and a few white guys. One of my white friends kept saying nigga, and the black guys never said anything so he kept saying it. After he left, one of the black guys took me to the side and told me I needed to have a little talk with him, because that's not cool.

They may act cool with it, but one day you're going to say it in front of the wrong person. Why say the word at all? There's just no reason if you're not racist, and you're not black.
