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
Yeah I'd be pretty much the same.
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
Too late if it is 🤣🤣
Haha 😅 , yeah it won't change how you we Irish use it I'm just curious.
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...
Yeah see Americans are the ones saying it's offensive, so I said I'd try ask some Japanese #nostr users
Sounds like a silly goose 😄
