How about you say "jap" again.

What're you gonna do about it? Hunt him down in your little spixteen? Get over it, its called an abreviation.

[sandwich]

wouldn't this be the German Ta-152?

Like to see this then these whinny cupcakes wont cry about never killing a B-29 when we get it.

The Ta-152 is way faster at altitude than this thing is and it only carries 4 20mm cannons while the 152 carries 2 20mm and a spud gun.

Besides, we're not getting the B-29 for a LOOOOOOOOOONG time.

Actually, no, it isn't.  It is a racial slur.  The abbreviation is JP.

What're (What are) you gonna do about it? Hunt him down in your little spixteen? Get over it, its called an abreviation (abbreviation).

Japanese isn't a very long word, and "jap" isn't meant as an abbreviation, it's meant as a racial word.  And no, I prefer the Yak.  Plus, I belive only racists use racial slur too.  One more thing, think before you type, it helps.

Hehe, wondering if anyone was gonna catch that. But come on, people are WAY to sensitive now a days.

You know what, since everyone is so damn sensitive these days why don't we have a poll on what words we should ban because people don't like them or consider them "hurtful." I vote for the word "the" (even though I just used it) because I never have liked it.

Jap is only a racial slur when used in the right context. EX. I DONT WANT NO DAM JAPS LIVIN NEXT TO ME!! (uttered by my drunk grandpa)

But in the context he used it it serves as an abbreviation for the word japanese, and japanese is a long word for the internet.
Its just much easier to forget about racial contexts and remember the word as an abbreviation, like it is meant to be!

This is crazy
J2m would be a great addition, as for the jap thing, really, are we gunna pick up the turd by the clean end. I would hate to take offense at people calling me an Aussie or an ocker, watermelon I'll even take Yobbo square on the chin.

Yes, I could tell how you meant it, which is why I didn't comment on it in response to your OP.  If you'd had anything against the Japanese you'd hardly have been saying you loved the J2M3.

This thread will be dead by tomorrow morning.

No, they're only selectively sensitive as a means of attacking Western Euro-based people and their culture.

Slurs against the Anglo-Irish ethnicity are widely tolerated.

My take: if we're so bad, best not to push it or we'll really give you something to whine about. It's likely either that or next thing you know, people who didn't perpetrate slavery will be providing 40 acres and a Lexus to those who didn't suffer from it.

It's just a matter of how much you allow allegations of racism to browbeat you into abject submission - a submission that couldn't otherwise be achieved, given that the Western culture, which now includes the Japanese (one of whom is my wife) is globally dominant and not a far cry from the Industrial Rev/ Capitalist model founded in Western Europe.

Most of this crap is made up by a bunch of grievance industry comsymps anyway - usually as justification for this or that transfer payment.

Someday, chips down...

Yes, of course... I laughed, I cried, I coughed up a piece of lung.

You can blame me for the reductio ad absurdum but it was the Zeke jockey who first derailed the thing.
