There's alot of Japanese on at this hour.

Question : is referring to Japanese people as "Jap" offensive?

We in Ireland have a huge connection to Japan in the car scene and use the term alot but a friend from the states said we shouldn't be saying Jap.

Just want to hear people's thoughts.

Is your American friend Japanese?

I'm guessing you wouldn't be asking here...

As an American, North American actually, of non-asian descent... I have heard that "jap" is considered offensive, but I've never heard a Japanese person say it, so... I guess we should be asking them...
