I don't know, I thought it was alright. Mallrats is an all time fav, though.
The reason why 'Jap' gets to me is because from the late 1800s it was fine to call them that. When they signed on with Germany and Italy in the 30s things soured and took a few decades to get better after WWII. There was a few years in the 1980s where people thought the 'Japs' were going to buy up Australia but other than those two isolated periods Australia has had very good relations with the Japanese and I'd argue I've heard 'Jap' used in neutral terms waaaay more often than negative. Yet we seem to have a habit of only paying attention to the negative aspects and being overly dramatic about it by completely forgetting the decades upon decades that it was not a negative term. And it's not like they were persecuted like the black fellas were either. Some of them were unduly interned in concentration camps during the war but their plight could not be compared to the blacks in Australia and the US, nor the Jews, etc. As a matter of fact, for to the greatest degree it has been the Japanese doing the persecuting!
Terms also go back the other way as well. Cosmopolitan has been used in very negatively and in anti-semetic contexts in the past. Should we stop using that word? Sino was used in a derogatory sense by the Japanese for quite some time in History, a lot of Chinese find it offensive, including my wife. Should this word be ruled out of the vernacular too?
My point is that we seem to be so eager to jump on the bandwagon of ruling out words that may cause offense because they have been used offensively at some point. I'm now waiting for the day where we can no longer call the Jewish Jews, white people 'white man' or Americans Yanks.
