Kalani C.MemberI’m not Japanese, but when I hear “Jap,” I cringe. People on news shows are aware it is an offensive word but often use it because they know they can get away with it, which is very cowardly. I feel Asians make easy targets for exploitation because often we try so hard to fit into Euro-American culture. We don’t want to offend anyone or make waves for fear of being socially rejected. However, by keeping silent, we are being rejected by lack of respect from ourselves and others.
Anytime a person of a different race uses slang to identify another race, to me that is offensive. I wouldn’t call a person of German ancestry a ‘Germ’ or a Hispanic person a ‘Spic.’ That’s racism and unacceptable in my view.
