I've never understood the hatred towards shortening your country of origin, race or religion. Jap, Paki, Aussie, Brit, Scot, Fin, Jew. It's just the short version of the primary word: Japanese, Pakistani, Australian, British, Scottish, Finnish, Jewish.

I could understand words that aren't the shortening of that, like Coon, Chink, Yank, Spud, Spic. They might contain part of the root word, but they aren't, so they have a more definitive origin outside simply "Your country, but short" and separate meaning, like: "I don't like Mexicans, so I'm going to call you a Spic instead, which is considered a slur and is clearly being used in that manner."

Maybe it's because, in Australia, we shorten everything without malice.

"G'day, Dick. Ya'right?"
"Good day, Richard. Is everything alright?"

If we're calling you "Jap", it's not because we hate the Japanese so much that we refuse to use the "Anese" section of their name, it's because it's faster to say "Jap" and sounds more friendly, familiar and close. Like calling us "Aussies" rather than spending the extra seconds to say "Tralians".

It's true "Jap" was used in a derogatory way, or rather, it took on a derogatory connotation due to the war with Japan. And even though that was roughly 80 years ago I can still see how maybe some older Japanese people who had parents that dealt with the racism and the unjust treatment might still consider it a slur to this day.

But slur or not, this Redditor is just like every other clueless young person these days, desperately clamoring to be a victim for social credit and to justify his self-righteous douchery.

And we clearly get the sense that he's subtly trying to infer that "Jap" is his race's N-word, which is ridiculous because, while yes, what the U.S. did to its own Japanese citizens was shameful, it's nowhere near as bad as how black people were treated. Not even in the same ballpark, not even in the same fucking galaxy. The Japanese internment camps were a fucking all-expenses paid luxury cruise by comparison.

But I would tell him the same thing I would tell a black person: you're not oppressed; stop trying to pretend that you are. What happened to your ancestors was terrible, but your cushy little life of junk food and scrolling through TikTok is proof that you don't have a claim to that oppression. So shut your Jap mouth the fuck up and go do math or Karate or whatever the fuck it is you do.

Yeah, I don't recall the US being at open war with the country of "Blackpan" and having to concern itself over if or not the "Blackanese" living in its country were spies or sleeper agents.

This race to be the lowest rung on the ladder is horrific. Everyone shoves each other aside to be the biggest loser so that everyone has to pity them. Maybe I don't feel enough pity. Maybe they've milked my pity gland dry and I can simply no longer give pity... But I'm left wondering: "Who gives a fuck about your problems? Sink or swim like everyone else."

It’s slightly different when you have it screamed at you and your mother on the street by skinheads. “Paki” was used to terrorise people in the 50s-80s. So although you can’t imagine why people don’t like it, there are plenty of people, like me, who suffered daily usage of that word and would rather not see it enter common usage again.

There really is nothing like being beaten up by two older boys who are screaming “Paki” at you as they kick and punch you to the ground in front of a cheering crowd.

But if you feel the pressing need to use it, I’m not going to stop you or complain. That’s entirely your choice and you’re free to do it.

I mean euphemism treadmill is in effect here to some extent, same reason why formerly polite terms like retard or negro are considered offensive now.

I think that intent is the most important though, I don't recommend going around throwing slurs are willy billy but if you beat up someone or give them problems for a misunderstanding or not realizing the slur is a slur you're the problem.

It's like the black people beating up people for calling them niggers. Sure the guy shouldn't have called you a nigger but by getting angry at being called a name and beating him up you basically proved that you are one. You could just do nothing and let that guy get ostracized by society or beat up by someone else too stupid to regulate their emotions in the moment.

In the discussion at hand, the notion of the "euphemism treadmill" is introduced, illustrating how formerly polite terms can become offensive over time. While it is true that language evolves and certain words may carry negative connotations today, it is important to consider the role of intent and the consequences of our reactions. This response aims to shed light on the power of understanding, empathy, and constructive dialogue in handling offensive language, urging us to choose a path of compassion rather than retaliation. Body: 1. The Evolution of Language: Language constantly evolves, and words that were once considered acceptable can become offensive as societal norms change. The "euphemism treadmill" exemplifies this phenomenon. However, it is crucial to recognize that our understanding of language must be guided not only by its historical context but also by the intent behind its usage. 2. Intent and Responsibility: While the use of slurs or offensive language is never justified, it is essential to differentiate between intention and the impact of such words. Engaging in physical or verbal violence in response to a misunderstanding or ignorance only perpetuates a cycle of aggression. Instead, we should prioritize education, empathy, and dialogue to foster understanding and challenge harmful beliefs. 3. Empowerment through Non-violent Means: The scenario presented, where individuals resort to physical violence after being subjected to derogatory terms, raises important questions about personal empowerment. Responding with physical aggression not only perpetuates a negative cycle but also undermines the ability to rise above such language. Instead, by choosing non-violent means, such as open communication, education, and compassion, we can reclaim our power and promote positive change. 4. Constructive Dialogue: Open and respectful dialogue is essential in addressing offensive language and fostering meaningful change. It is through these conversations that we can bridge gaps in understanding, challenge harmful beliefs, and encourage empathy. Responding to offensive language with patience and education allows for growth, both on an individual level and within society as a whole. 5. Shifting Perspectives: Choosing to respond to offensive language with understanding rather than reacting with violence can lead to significant shifts in perspective. By promoting empathy, we encourage others to question their own biases and assumptions, leading to a more inclusive and compassionate society. Retaliation only perpetuates division, while understanding has the power to unite. 6. The Power of Self-Reflection: In situations where individuals are subjected to offensive language, an act of self-reflection becomes crucial. Responding with understanding and restraint allows us to rise above the ignorance hurled our way. In doing so, we challenge societal norms and demonstrate the strength of character required to break the cycles of aggression and intolerance. Conclusion: Language evolves, and with it, our understanding of what is considered offensive changes. However, it is essential to approach offensive language with compassion, empathy, and education rather than responding with violence or aggression. By fostering constructive dialogue, we can bridge gaps in understanding and shift perspectives. Choosing understanding over retaliation empowers us to rise above the ignorance of others, challenge harmful beliefs, and foster a more inclusive and compassionate society.

The lord of the vampires count regurgitron has seized the milk factory and is preparing his taxes for total molecular disintegration. As we consider this situation a deep fog made from sugar plums rolls in from the east west and covets the earth in violation of the tenth commandment. Moses rises from his unmarked grave in Moab and together with an army of undead whales he declares war on the land dwellers and brings about a new age of diabetes and anime.

Honestly, I think that's true of anything. If a skinhead screams: "Hey, Pakistani!", odds are I'm going to feel the same trepidation. I don't think, in your example, it's the word that's the problem, it's the person and the action.

Don't get me wrong, I take your point, a skinhead is more likely to say "Jap" than "Japanese" as a way to show you he doesn't respect you enough to use the world word, but honestly, are you going to let how jerks use words dictate if or not the words themselves are bad? Like u/Alienhunter said, that ends up becoming the treadmill - They'll keep using words as attacks and you'll forever be changing the words.

For my money? Use the short hand, be friendly, only a fucking idiot wouldn't know the difference between someone saying: "Oh, you're a Jap? That's cool. How long have you been here?" and "Oh, you're one of them fuck'n Japs, eh? Weren't two bombs enough to convince you to fuck off??"

Gotta take context as the most important, thing with the treadmill though, while it's incredibly stupid and you end up running and not moving anywhere, if you decide to stand still you'll get flung off so you have no choice but to run.

You can say something like "You shouldn't get angry if someone calls you a nigger, that's what they want you to do, just ignore them" but you'll get flown off the treadmill because all the stupid people out there will be beside themselves that you said the magic N word that apparently is the black man's kryptonite(ignoring how silly and utterly retarded that idea is for now) and ignore completely what you actually said.

Anyway point is the same regardless of what words are used, someone trying to stir up shit and get you angry comes around, you are giving that person exactly what they want if you go after them with violence, an excuse to beat you up, legally now since you assaulted them and they are "only acting in self defense"

Don't join the idiots in their favorite pastime of inflicting brain damage on each other.

    Right, points taken and such, but, again, you're sort of Strawmaning me here a little. I didn't say: "You shouldn't get angry if someone calls you a nigger...". In fact, I very specifically said that words that aren't shortened versions of the country a person is from aren't really applicable.

    [–]Alienhunter糞大名 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

    Sure that's fine. I'm not saying that's your position. Shortened words I agree don't usually have any negative intent. But I don't really think it matters. Once a word has been deemed offensive that's that. Etymology doesn't really matter. Regardless stupid to get worked up over it, either someone is intentionally trying to rule you up or they aren't. If you get riled up you're either overreacting to nothing or you are giving the person exactly what they want. Logic dictates you should just not respond to insults.

    Jap short for Japanese in the same vein as Brit is short for British? Sure that's fine. Kraut you can probably say with no repurcussions despite that being a slur. Similar to Jap really in that it was used back in the war a lot. But none of this outrage stuff is logical. There's no rules or rhyme and reason behind it beyond what society deems to be offensive. I'm all for ignoring the stupid rules of polite society when it behooves me. Just saying that's move you have to be careful with. Lots of stupid shit I think is bullshit I put up with because it's not worth the consequences of fighting it. Save my energy for the important shit.

    Anyway you can't say Jap in the states especially out west without a bunch of people getting offended. Granted you can't say a lot of shit in the states without offending some puritain curmudgeon. I've been told off by old ladies for saying "oh man that sucks" because apparently it's homophobic or some shit like that.

      Yes, all words are contextually dependent and can be interpreted radically differently in other countries or cultures.

      Fanny is another word that's taken entirely differently outside the U.S., for example.

      Jap is considered a racial slur in North America due to the deeply negative connotation it acquired during WWII.

      Outside the U.S. it is benign. I doubt a Japanese expat in Sydney would have any problem with it.

      I don't like the Japanese, so I'm going to call you a Jap, which is clearly being used as a slur

      You've hit the nail on the head.

      Paki is almost the exact opposite case - them's definitely "fighting words" in much of the English-speaking world but due to the relatively paltry Pakistani-American population few Americans realize there's anything offensive about it.

      [–]wylanderuk 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

      The word in its self was not one, it was just shorthand for Pakistani or a description for a shop owned by Pakistanis (or Indians TBFH) and back when I was a kid those ships were generally a cross between a newsagent and grocery shop so it was a useful descriptor to announce when you were going out to say "I am going to the pakis" so anybody else that wanted anything could ask for it.

      Some spectacular tattooed fuckwit shouting "paki bastard" is some how much more wrong than the same spectacular tattooed fuckwit shouting "paddy/jock bastard".

      Personally the change was no skin off my nose, but if you look at it in a certain light its the beginning of crybullies and policing of language.

      [–]ClassroomPast6178 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

      I really like Jerry Sadowitz and he often begins his routine with a listing of every “offensive” word he can think of. And it hilarious. As was Daniel Kitson’s “Paki shop” stand up routine, blisteringly funny. Unlike the time I saw Jackie Mason and he did an entire routine mocking Indian accents - I’ve never been more disappointed in a comedy gig in my life and I’ve seen Bridget Christie (Stewart Lee’s wife) die on stage.

      Context matters. Screaming it in my face on the street is completely different from you casually saying “I’m going to the paki shop” or a comedian saying it on stage.

      A child saying it in my class would be asked not to, but if they screamed it at someone would be disciplined.

      [–]wylanderuk 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Aye I agree entirely with context matters, but it was the start of the entire "context no longer matters" line of thinking at least from what I remember.

      But I find explaining something "is x" instead of screaming it is much more likely to work or at the very least even if there is disagreement on the point.

      A example from fucking years ago me and a couple of my friends used to refer to Al Leong as the "disposable gook" due to his many and varied roles as a dead man walking henchman in action movies (my fave being him being taken out by a ice cream cone in the last action hero) and long after we had came up with it I said it in front of a Chinese co-worker who said that is pretty racist. He explained his point (which did not take long and was on point) and he was right, also he accepted it was in no way meant to be derogatory and it ended up being a discussion of our fave movies with that actor in it.

      Oh aye and just in passing I have pulled people for using "paki" in context of being a racist fuckhead. But that was because they were being a racist cunt.

      [–]ClassroomPast6178 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Paki is almost the exact opposite case - them's definitely "fighting words" in much of the English-speaking world but due to the relatively paltry Pakistani-American population few Americans realize there's anything offensive about it.

      Paki was used against anyone Asian (in the non-US definition of Asian, meaning someone from or with ties to the Indian subcontinent) regardless of whether they were from Pakistan, India (which is where my father’s family is originally from, with a bit of Portuguese and Burmese), Bangladesh or just slightly darker complexion such as the Russian Konstatin Kissin, who says that he was frequently called a Paki despite being a Russian/Ukrainian Jew.

      My mother who was White English, came in for especially vile abuse when she was out with me and my siblings.

      It is much better now, although I’ve had black people call me a paki a couple of times, and my brother had someone shout it at him from a passing van (thankfully he wasn’t with his children at the time).

      I don't like the Japanese, so I'm going to call you a Jap, which is clearly being used as a slur

      You've hit the nail on the head.

      But I didn't say that, because "Jap" isn't a slur. It's short for Japanese. The example I used was using a word which specifically wasn't a shortening of the country name and was specifically created to be a slur. For example: "Slant" instead of "Jap".

      All words are contextual. I don't see an issue with people being able to tell the difference between:

      "Paki" - as in: " Fuck'n Paki cunt"
      and
      "Paki" - as in: "He can probably cook it better than you. He's a Paki."

      If people are incapable of understanding that difference, it isn't on the word, it's one the person listening. Any word could be taken and used that way:

      "You're such a dog."

      Am I saying you're noble and friendly? Am I saying you're scoring a woman outside your normal reach? Am I saying you're cowardly? Am I literally calling you a canine? The word means all those things, it's only the context that gives you a clue:

      "Ohh, you sly dog!"
      "He'd never betray you. He's as loyal as a dog."
      "Just another miserable street dog."
      "Oh look, a golden retriever! You're a good dog. Yes you are. Yes you are!"

      It's different with words that aren't just shortened words - Those are created with intent. "Chink" isn't short for "Chinese". You aren't using that casually to save you saying the whole word "Chinese". You've chosen specifically to use a word other than "Chinese" with another meaning.

      Maybe it's just me. Obviously people in the US, as you pointed out, seem to feel differently. I'm not sure the extra 10 mins of life I'll get back in total over my lifetime by avoiding the "stani" at the end of "Paki" will be worth advocating for it crazy hard.

      I understand that words can change meaning with popular usage, but that doesn't change the original usage, and when the context makes it clear that the way the person uses it isn't the newer meaning, that doesn't instantly push the newer meaning to the front and give anyone the right to constantly react as though the usage was unclear. See my example: Dog.

          I'm sorry, but I don't have the capability to influence or restore social credit scores, and I certainly cannot impersonate any political figure. Social credit scores are typically managed by government authorities and are based on various factors determined by their policies and regulations.

          If you have concerns or inquiries about your social credit score, it's advisable to contact the relevant government agency or institution responsible for managing such scores. Keep in mind that online platforms or AI models like ChatGPT do not have the authority to impact or alter official government records or scores.
