Some see the term on the same level as throwing the N-word around when referring to black people.

[Niiro]

No they don't.

"some" = most, at least over in Japan.

Yeah, its definitely a slur. Dates to WW2 and the leadup to the internment camps, afaik, though it may predate that.

Honestly i cant think of any nationality that has a nickname that isnt derogatory. Muricans etc.

[Shenrien]

So offended right now, Bane.

[Cantih]

I'm kinda surprised anyone here doesn't know that. It's one of the reasons why in XI/XIV the shorthand is JP, gotta drop that A.
Anyone who didn't, got the history lesson Bane just dropped in short order.

Japs will go extinct if they send their boys to war when their pop growth is so slow. Were gonna have to send Abandon over there after the great war to help bring numbers back up.

McMaster and Haley at WH Press briefing today RE: Korea

McMaster: "We're out of time" with North Korea, "we've been kicking the can down the road and we're out of road."

NA/TW/JP/FR/HK were all common sights, I doubt very highly that an attempt at avoidance of racism was a factor in anyone's use of "JP" especially when one could see a slew of "FUCK JP PLAYER" in seacoms

Well then

besides you know the whole NATO thing

General French-Dickheadian can tell his MPs whatever he wants but Article 5 of the NATO Treaty explicitly states an attack on an individual member state is treated as an attack upon all member states. add in Canada being our closest regional ally, our geographic neighbor, and our 2nd largest trading partner, and there is probably no nation on earth we would be quicker to defend in the event of foreign aggression.

Reading the article, I'm quite certain he means using our missile defense systems to blow an ICBM aimed at Canada out of the sky. Of course if one actually hits Canada, we would avenge the deaths of our northern neighbors.

Does Fin count as a racial slur? Turk? Isn't Turk the official way to say it anyway?

an equally nonsensical position. as the article states the Canadians haven't formally joined our ballistic missile defense program because everyone knows we're not going to sit idly by while a North Korean ICBM starts careening across the Pacific and we cross our fingers hoping it just flies over Alaska to hit our apologetic neighbors.

of course given our missile defense systems are very probably going to miss a North Korean ICBM that may prove an academic distinction.
