I do not consider it a racial term, to me it is simply an abbreviation, and was in common use during the war. Hence its use in this thread, which was intentional.
While I am not of Asian decent, my family is from Europe. I love Asian culture, especially Japanese and Chinese culture very much. I would never slam a country that I enjoy learning about, and enjoy the things they produce so much.
If you were offended then I am sorry, but in a historical context it is pertinent.
