And "japs" is considered an offensive term in the U.S., just so you know.

It's offensive to UK people of Japanese origin too, which is why I used the term. The stereotype in the PT was offensive, contextually the use of the term makes sense to describe it.

 Although I doubt I'd ever use the word in any context (wife is Japanese), I totally understood why you used it when you did.
