Definitely, and it's not fair unless a survey is made and 75% of Malaysians are found to be really lazy(or malas as in Malay). Generalisations for a race or a whole nation of people are very inaccurate and therefore unfair.

Because the term is offensive and deragatory. I believe it was used for the Japanese, even Japanese-Americans during World War II.

I heard it had negative connotatiions, such as in pre-war times. It's associated with hatred of Japanese people.
and I guess it's just another racially unnacceptable word

Because it became understood to be a racial slur (as offensive as the terms for persons of African ethnicity and Jewish faith).

It's considered derogatory these days, as are "Diego", "Limey Boy", "Chink", "Pollack", "Mic", "Beaner", "Greasy Greek", "Kike", "Wop", and "Nancy Boy"
