Just when I thought Japanese pranks couldn't get any lower I stumble across this.
You have to bear with the video a little, as the good stuff comes about 5 mins into the video.
If it would've happened here it would've ended in court for sure.

The term "Jap" is universally considered a racial slur. Add to that you used a the word "Fucking" in the thread title (albeit misspelled) makes this thread unacceptable for Anandtech as it stands.

Marked for later.

Cue "jap" is/isn't a racist term argument.

I don't think "jap" was a term of endearment when people started using it.
 
What about the word that comes before jap? Seems like that part makes it clearly "racialist" as Ali G would say.

Why are we undressing with the video?

I think I'd rather bear with the video.

Japs, Brits, Yanks, I don't see any as derogatory. I think the Japs and idiot PC police types might not like it because that's what the US referred to them as during WWII.
But in reality, it is simply "Japanese", shortened.

And if they don't like it, I don't care. I'm not a yankee, but I'm sure referred to as a Yank by lots of foreigners, doesn't bother me. I can figure out the difference.

Fucking white people. :roll:

You see, that's not very derogatory. Now if you would have said "Fucking crackers", then it's offensive.

Do you have a problem with thin crisp wafers or biscuits, usually made of unsweetened dough?
 
I think you're an douche if you take the word "jap" offensively; so i guess i either dont offend you at all or i REALLY offend you. I'm not going to write/say "Japanese person" every time i refer to them.
