Most people aren't aware that it's offensive because unlike the other more obvious slurs, this "so called one"'s meaning really depends on how it's used (it's commonly used between my Japanese friends FYI, and no - NONE take offense; It's also a convienient abbreviation). But since defending the use of the term would be like swimming against a rip here, I'll admit I've made a mistake and will refrain from further using it on this forum.
As for offensive, I find masaegu offensive. This innocent mistake doesn't justify you making a patronizing, trollish comment against me.
