It is similar to refering to a black person as a '******'.

Actually I never knew that.
I've never said "Jap" or "Jappo"... but if it's offensive, then I guess I'm glad I never did...

The only time I have heard this word is when listening to WWII veterans. Even then, they are simply talking about the Japanese. I don't think they mean it to be cruel.

I am aware its offensive, but sweetie don't be too sensitive, your going to get judged and called names no matter who you are or where you come from.

Yes, I was. Don't people typically use it in a way that's meant to be offensive?

I am generally aware, and I generally don't really give a ****, Jap. Or are you a chink? they're both the same to me.
