In addition to moNkEydOo82k's post, "Jap", came about in the United States during World War II when the U.S. and Japan were at war. "Jap" was/is a derogatory term reffering to the Japanese that was used during World War II and from there on.Originally posted by ShlupQuack
I still don't get why you dissaprove of "Jap", Fujiyamato. It's a lot shorter then "Japanese."
