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.

 This strikes me as a bad reason to use an offensive term, but whatever.

 I agree, it just sounds more like an excuse.
