Why is that exactly? I also had first a jap. in the original post and changed it afterwards because back in my head there was a "No, not liked to do that one", but I can't remember why.


It is a racial slur from back during the WWII era I believe. It has mostly stopped having that meaning I think so it suprprises me that anyone would be bothered by it. The funny part, for me at least, is that probably non of the moderators have ever done anything about the use of the word gyped, which is also a racial slur. (Feel free to edit the word out if there is to be some greater form of enforcement.)


 Aha, it is pretty common to write countries short in two ways: First three letters of the countrys name (aka: FRA, GER, NOR, ITA, SPA, AUS, JAP) and domain name(fr, de,no,it, es,at,jp). I use more the former, since not many know the TLD of smaller countries.
