Term makes me cringe. Please don't use it. |
Why? I have nothing but respect for Japanese people and their traditions. I'm a history major and I enjoy every aspect of their society. Obviously being a gamer I owe my favorite hobby and passion to them mostly (especially considering I love many Jap series like MGS). It's just shorthand for Japanese. Sorry if it offends you but I mean no offense when I use it. It's not in itself offensive like so many other terms. You identify it with racism or offensive WW2 vets who mean it as an insult. As I have mentioned I use it as a shorthand term for Japanese and it means the same exact thing as if I said Japanese.
