47MartialMan Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 My re-wording Jap to Japanese And I am not speaking of martial arts.
47MartialMan Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 I'm Swiss.. and a wanna be cowboy. If you called me a cowboy, I'd probably be flattered. How about a "dude"? Cowboy, could the "boy" in that be offensive? How about a "cow man". Wait, that could be offensive too. There's a team named after Yankees, so, no, that's not insulting either. Yankee, like Yankee Doodle? Yankee, like a another name for jack off? Yankee, a native inhabitant of New England. What about Yank? Like he is sure a good "Yank"? Red neck, that has a history to it and is considered deragatory by most people.. but, that's not really a nationality or race. Jeff Foxworthy. Is it only ok for the people to call themselves this, or any other? PC PC

TheDevilAside Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 ..I'm still wondering why the word "Jap" is considered to be offensive. I've never seen it censored on television (I don't have cable, either). If it were a racial slur as bad as some of the ones you pointed out, JEM, then I'm pretty sure they'd "bleep it". No? Yeah, PC.
