BRASSO Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Hey did you guys hear? Those Japs are attacking Pearl Harbor! " Japs " ? whoa...... that's like using the " N " word with the Asian- American community. Moderator might want to consider closing this thread down. It's had both sexist and then racist remarks, and as such needs to be taken out of it's misery in my opinion.

27/soa Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Are we talking toga-like unis? There were some in 2002, and they weren't pretty then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

07-Socks Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Yeah, also women are allowed to vote, drive, and wear pants. Where have you been for the last century? But shouldn't they really be in the kitchen, where they belong? I kid...I kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask any members of the Asian- American Community if the term " the Japs" in the phrase '"The Japs attacked Pearl Harbour" is offensive. I think you'll find that while " the Japs " is a" proper word " in your vocabulary, it is most definately considered a pjorative and racist word useage in many quarters of the Asian- American community.
