transcription: jms36 8 Points 1h When i was little i thought that "jap" was just a shortened version of "japanese person", i didnt know it was a slur. I used it, a lot, and especially during my 10th grade history class. Towards the end of the year my teacher (who was japanese btw) pulled me aside and asked me why i thought it was okay to use a slur in class, i had no idea. I used jap casually for years, no one told me. Idk if thats as bad as the prostitute thing, but thought id share Reply + HOW IS THAT A SLUR? ARE BRITS, FINNS, OR AUSSIE SLURS TOO?
