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.
