Dunno if that was directed at me. If such was the case then you misunderstood me. They can hate the word, but I feel that it would be wrong that a japanese person goes around and feels bad and offended by a word directed solely at foreigners (whom mostly doesn't care).
It's like white people going around bitching about how bad they feel when they hear the n-word, although it's admirable that they care and have a sense of what's right and wrong; they (we) don't _really_ get personally affected. So stop the terms that discriminate people, but dont get all high and mighty and speak about how "offended" you personally are.
Any black men/women here? I'm just curious as to how you percieve a white man/woman talking about how offended they are when they hear words discriminating black people?
Also, as this thread indicates...
..."gaijins" don't really care. So save the drama.
