I'm sure NO ONE that has used the term meant it in a derogatory sense.

2 things
1: Whether the person using it means to be offensive or finds it offensive is totally irrelevant. What matters is if people of Japanease descent are offended by it. If they are, just add the half dozen extra letters. If you aren't willing to push 6 buttons to keep from racially offending someone, then you are a jerk.
2: I, personally, love All Delight's Avatar

why do you think it is that you don't get offended when you hear derogatory comments about your Irish heritage? I am willing to bet that as a white guy living in Boston you don't face a whole heck of a lot of real discrimination. stuff like that is easier to brush off if you are not already dealing with the realities of racism in this country.

worry about "racism" when it actually applies to a situation where its being used in a derogatory sense.
In any event.. still want a japanese brain coral /drool

The cracker comparison is a little different - in both senses Jap is used to refer to Japanese. A cracker being used in one sense is a white person and in another a cookie.
I mentioned before that I'm sure no one who's used the term meant it in a bad way. But now knowing that it bothers some people can't you just type five extra letters?
