^ Through all my years, I can't say I've ever heard anyone use the term "Japa."

Never heard "Japa" but I have heard the term "hapa" which means somebody of mixed race.

That's what I was thinking... But I don't ever recall that term being derogatory...

well put...i had no clue this site was called that, since im fairly new, but i also understand that it was just a part of ignorance also, the person had every right to be angry, cuz if i saw a site called niggatv id be pretty damn mad about that (im black)

like when i was in 10th grade we were reading to kill a mockingbird and my teacher would skip all the cus words like damn hell and shit, but when the word nigger came up she had no problem saying it, like what kinda shit is that? its ok for u just to say that word but u can skip the other less harmful words? i didnt get it

Yea it was used like "Japa girls" is conversation. I thought it was kind of cool sounding.

useing J** is offensive...My Wife is Japanese and she doesnt like it when its said..

yes I think so.

also J-whatever makes my ears hurt
