Can you explain WHY it isn't factually correct? They are both Japanese and a bastard if that situation is true...


As for the edit, it was smply because I was going off track and not comparing to Japanese as I got sidetracked by previous posts

Anyway, 'jap' is a shortened form of 'Japanese'... surely it's double standards to say that is racist and 'gaijin', the shortened form of 'gaikokujin', is ok?

Unless the word 'Japanese' is racist of course...

Like I said previously, I don't like the use of the word 'Jap' but it does make me wonder how one can be fine and the other be a bad word
