Ollie in english speaking countries, well at least the US , UK and Australia the use of the first 3 letters of the word Japanese in the comntext of Japanese people is cinsidered racist and insultng. The terms was widely used in a derogatory fashion during World War II. It the same as shortening Sauerkraut to refer to Germans, another racist and insulting term. Hope that explains it.

So if I shorten it to first three letters of their original name (Nippon) I am not racist? Or am I? </BLOCKQUOTE>

I was always told that was worse, actually.

As the nooest noobie here I'd say leave it just as it is.

The average pillock on GQ can't spell LLM anyway, they only animate if a word begins with pat.
