Now you're comparing a word that some see with a tone of racism to words that were created out of racism and hatred.
Edit: MMM beat me to it =p
And you're really stretching if you're making those comparisons.
Why are you so dead set on this being racist? Have you personally had a Japanese citizen call you a gaijin with racist or discriminatory intent?
