| Or is it along the lines of "cracker" where it's used non-pejoratively? |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| I honestly don't know. I haven't seen this word being used outside of 4chan and on that website there isn't really a difference between slurs and normal accepted words so I can't tell. |

| I have no idea to be honest, this is the first time I heard about this term. But I guess referring to people by their name/nickname rather than their nationality/race is always the most decent and thus the safest way? Just saying... |

| I thought Nippon was the formal Imperial patriotic way to refer to Japan with Nihon the modern casual. That is a bad comparison anyways in comparing cracker to a shortening of cauc for Caucasian. Like slav for Slavic. |

| Back in the 70's and early 80's that's how we referenced all Asians, not just Japanese. As far as I am aware it came from the soldiers who fought the Japanese in WW2. About as offensive as calling a black a nignog, and Indian a curry-muncher, and Aborigine a boong, a Chinese a chingchong, an Italian a wog, an Arab a sand-nigger, and a Caucasian privellaged. |
| idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion. |
| The only time I've heard that used unironically is in wartime cartoons from WWII or maybe some interview with a WWII vet. |

| I've literally never heard that....I've heard "Jap" which was a slur used by Americans (mostly) during WWII era. |

| "Nip" is an ethnic slur according to Wikipedia, although I've never seen it being used. "Jap" is definitely considered offensive by Japanese people, I'm not sure about "nip". |

| Not familiar with the term, is it supposed to be shortened for nippon? |
| "In the end the World really doesn't need a Superman. Just a Brave one" |
| If you really wanna be offensive then go to an asian girl and say 'yo hun how bout that nep desu nee?' lol she will slap you in the face. SCORE!!! |
