And no, I am not Japanese, but I spent a couple of years in Japan and I found these people to be very nice and not deserving of that term.
Anyway, sorry to get off subject here but just thought I would point this out to everyone here on the board. Not telling anyone what to do. This is just a suggestion. Thanks!
Of course with the internet being global what may be a derogatory term in the US is not always a derogatory term anywhere else. Heck I don't even know if that term is derogatory in Japan. Anyway as you were...
