[glow=blue,2,000]Yeah its ok Jinx, the word Jap in Canada is used as a form of disrespect but here on the TF boards across the net its used as a short form for Japanese so its really no disrepect intended. I remember when I saw it too I though the same thing.[/glow]

It's not dwelling if you need an explaination...
In Canada, our government went over board when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and they moved all Japanese peoples... Canadian born also... from the coast line, inland and took away all their possessions... kinda like a concentration camp... everyone went overboard and used derogitory words against them... and quite a few of them had lived here for years without incident (3 generations worth)... our government figured that it was safer if the Japanese didn't have access to the coast line for fear of things happening to our country also, plus they needed to keep the US as an allie(sp)
so the Japanese people take offense to things like that... just like using the word "chink" for the Chinese or other derogitory words like that
that's what I was on about... sorry for the misunderstanding...

[glow=blue,2,000]Yeah, its basicly how things become. If you use a word enough in a certain way you change its meaning. Like if an old man from the south keep calling someone 'boy' (Ok, I'm using a stereotype here) the way they might say it is disrespectful by how he's saying it. Like if I used the word limey, I'm assuming its not bad but in an arguement if I said it one could find it annoying. Even bad words can be turn into something less harmful. Not to venture too far into it, but I'm sure you listen to hip hop, or heard a song here or there. Now you know what I'm talking about, they have changed around the meaning of terms but then again can only use it with certain ppl in certain circles. So yeah, it all in how one looks at it and there experience. [/glow]
