spanksregular Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 " 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. Censorship in this funny is very funny. The term "Japs" was not even used in a derogatory manner, it was a hyperbolic statement used to prove a point. Language is a complex animal, but I hope people know a hyperbole when they read one :-\. That being said, I have a question. Why is it that people say "the N word" instead of just saying "######". It doesn't make any sense. Everyone knows what "N" is the first letter of in this context, you implied quite well WHAT that "N" is supposed to represent, and we're all adults here, why the circumvention? Can people read "the N word" but as soon as you actually spell it out they start foaming at the mouth and beating the ground bones, grunting and spitting like the beginning of "2001"? As the late great George Carlin said about 15 years ago in response to political correctness in this country, "There is nothing wrong with words in and of themselves, it's the context. To some that may seem obvious, but it seems people must honestly still lack basic reading comprehension skills if the word "Jap" used in an a dry and academic context warrants a thread being closed.

bluehull Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 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. All the Squareheads and Limeys out there should be the governing group concerning what is a slur..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You ask " why is it that people say " the N word instead of just saying "######" and why " actually spelling it out people start foaming at the mouth " with that ? I can't believe anyone would seriously ask this question. So I'll choose not to offer up an answer to the question. George Carlin was a gifted comedian. He was also a drug addict and a very vulgar man. But to each his own. Edited June 26, 2008 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
