We are a bit more sensitive to racial slurs in Southern California because of the huge numbers of not only Asians, but also of minorities in general. In fact, in Southern California minorities aren't minorities anymore. As a group they represent well over 50% of the population. Believe me, you will never hear it spoken in So Cal., either in public or private. If you do, it might be used by old-timers when referring to Japanese cars as Jap cars. If you use the racial epithet, you will not make friends and influence people in a positive way. Once again, I can't believe you are insistent on defending that it is not derogatory. It doesn't pass the smell test. I encourage you to use the term Jap or Nip to a person of Japanese descent and see how they like it. They won't.

I come from a very long line of distinguished racists on my father's side of the family. My father's parents, his four sisters, and their kids (my cousins) were and are openly racist and prejudiced towards blacks. They use the "n" word openly in their houses, and tell really bad jokes to the expense of blacks. They are frankly quite hard to be around when they get nasty. My grandmother, upon hearing that I was going to marry a Japanese girl, told me that she wasn't sure that the family would accept her. I told her immediately that if she or anyone else in the family didn't accept her warmly or if they ever even once made her feel uncomfortable, then that would be the last time any of them would ever see me, my wife, or our kids. It worked.

Aren't we all also prejudiced in one form or another? Why do we bother with one form but not prejudice as a whole? Could it be so we sleep better at night? While I may not be racist, is it OK for me to be prejudiced against say people that drive luxury cars, german cars, Jap cars, etc, etc? How about people that are richer or poorer than I am? That OK?

And speaking of it....the worst elements of humanity...going a little too far...your line of ancestry maybe very honorable, yet, your interpretation of it, emotionally very loaded...I find your claim rather inappropriate ... On the other hand I got the 'joke' behind 'MS Gestapo' and I just hope he'll put it back in place ... All of my family's fathers fought on the side of their country, which was Germany and I never heard one of them whining ...
