I'm still waiting for a verdict on whether "Jap" is offensive or an abbreviation.

Nip is derogatory according to Wikipedia, though that's often the case with wartime nicknames. </BLOCKQUOTE>

on the wartime theme what about jerry? </BLOCKQUOTE>

And why wouldn't "Kraut" or "Frog" be as bad as "Beaner"? </BLOCKQUOTE>

by and large, it's dependent on culture and class. no one recognises negative stereotypes about the french and germans really so kraut and frog lose their sting. they're also in the same first world status. </BLOCKQUOTE>

I beg to disagree </BLOCKQUOTE>

pfft. you're not going to lose your job or get evicted from your home because of it.
