The word "Jap"

[kipani_mariko]

This has been weighing on my mind for a while, and I've been trying to formulate a post in my mind to discuss the weight of the word "Jap" but I kept putting it off. I feel that I must write about it now before I hesitate yet again

I definitely remember learning about this in History classes. And I understand how that term can be mistakenly read today so I just don't use it at all. I spell out the whole thing ;P

Ahhh I'm glad <3 And right if said to the wrong person it could go very wrong, so it's safer not to say it. Thanks for your help Lene <3

Ahh I've been brooding on this for a while. And it annoys me to no end. Although I recognize that there are some people who use it out of sheer ignorance. So it's great you're putting this out there <3

Yeah same here. I tried to tell people in private but I find that so many people are largely ignorant about it so I figured it's better to know. Thanks so much Scattie <3 *hugs*
