japse
The term "japse" is a derogatory and offensive ethnic slur used to refer to people of Japanese descent. Its origins are often linked to the English word "Jap," which itself emerged during World War II as a pejorative term for Japanese people. The use of "japse" is widely considered to be deeply insulting and racist, carrying historical baggage associated with wartime propaganda and xenophobia. This slur is often employed to dehumanize and denigrate individuals based on their ethnicity, and its usage is strongly condemned by anti-racism advocates and civil rights organizations. The term perpetuates harmful stereotypes and contributes to a hostile environment for Japanese people and other East Asian communities. Its use is considered unacceptable in polite society and in any context aiming for respectful communication.
