I'm not dead set on this being racist (until my g/f said she didn't like it, I used to use the word) but nobody can give a convincing arguement why it is NOT racist other than 'yeah, it just means you are not Japanese' which doesn't really prove it either way
How is it racist when it's not directed at a race?
