If we're going to continue with calling the chinese "chinamen" then we may as well call the japanese "japs". How about... "hey jew boy, I only refer to you by your looks, and use a phrase I know irks you." Why don't we sling around more of this on these boards? I don't think the mods mind and it doesn't make us look immature at all...

I grew up in a 90% jewish town... I know them all.

Chinamen is not the same as calling Chinese chinks, but it's not exactly kosher either. The point remains the same.

You have to say it with a southern drawl.

I see what you did there.

Seriously though, nobody was seriously suggesting using slurs. I don't think people here put up with it, to be honest. At least, I haven't observed that.

Wait, japs is derogatory? I've never once thought about it having a negative connotation, it's just shorter than 'japanese'.
