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.

I would refer to a really good tool as a “Jap made masterpiece” and I would not refer to a Japanese person or place as Jap , it’s slang and too informal imho

We have a large Jap car scene , so Jap cars , Jap tools and Jap parts ect but I'd say Japanese referring to a person
