How do you say straw man in Japanese? Specifically, my rant is directed at ANYONE who attacks ANY American for using the term "Jap Attack". It is a colloquial term of long standing meaning surprise attack. As another poster has already noted, Americans with their blood have earned the eternal right to use that term, and any so-called "Japanese-American" who wants to play the race card on it obviously holds more affinity with Japan than with America. Conversely, a Real American of Japanese descent would have no problem with the term, since it stems from an historical fact, not from racial bias. Moreover, the fact that the Japs are arrogant, zenophobic and totally untrustworthy in their business and political dealings with Westerners does not require that we treat them with kid gloves. Cheers.
Whatever.
