The term “Japs” is no different from calling African Americans “N*ger”. I hope you don’t use such a racist term again.

The term Japs is derogatory, though not on quite the same level as the n word.
While personally disagree with its usage, will not get into an uproar over people harboring a huge grudge against the Japanese (the paranoid part is suspicious that they do so because it's an 'acceptable' way to be racist; improbable, but just a hunch). Hence comment 133, where JAPS was replaced with Japs instead of Japanese. Referring to them as animals was stupid, and capitalizing Japs was confrontational, but, while offensive, Japs is the most acceptable while keeping his disgust with the Japanese clear in his post.

The term Japs is no different from calling African Americans N*ger. "Jap" is short for "Japanese".
Cheers!
