It is not a "stupid PC stunt" because the word was used in the US to dehumanize Japanese long before PC was a thing.

Americans used the word "Brits" in a deragotory manner, as did the brits with the term "Yanks", yet we still use them. But the fact of the matter is, as stated before, if the words hurt someone then that is a good enough reason not to use them. So are you guys japanese? Just wondering.
