Not a historian. He is a gold trader.

It was a common reference for the Japanese during the time. The Japanese of that era deserve no respect after Pearl Harbor, and the many POW atrocities.

"I still will not own anything Japanese, and am glad to admit it." No one can be taken seriously who says something like that..

No historian can be taken seriously if he uses the term "Jap." Is it ok with you if historians use the term "Jew" for Jewish person? I've never understood the disconnect on that one. Jap is derogatory, Jew is fine, and long as you don't say it as Joooo.

No historian can be taken seriously if he uses the term "Jap." Would you prefer he called 'em "Nips"?
