@moeru-san: ah kaya po pala na associate ung "jap" as a negative word dahil dun sa mga propagandas na written nung galit pa talaga as in ung mga filipinos..going back to history, the depthness ng galit ng mga earlier filipinos sa mga japanese is talagang AS IN., and its beacuse of what took place here at our own land and done by the japanese people particulary soldiers to our countrymen.I rarely naman however, encounter people na galit pa rin sa japanese about the past, but every now and then sympre di parin maalis na may negative pa rin ako nadidinig about dun.for me as a whole however,WORLD WAR MUST NOT HAPPEN AGAIN talaga..kasi it will really sobrang affect every single person sa buong mundo and bring out the worst in them is a high possibility.

@ryuchi-san: me din po kanina ko lang to nakita hehehe

basta ako "japanese" ang sinasabi ko! hehehe!

Paste ko lang yung post dati ni Wigent-san na origin ng Jap: Yung kopong-kopong ay nung time ng World War 2 ata. Dahil magkalaban ang US at Japan nun, referred ng mga Amerikano sa mga Hapon ay "Japs." Gaya ng meron nun newspaper headline sa US, nakalagay: "Japs surrendered!" Nung ngang sumuko na Hapon sa WW2. Bale to be politically correct dapat walang gumagamit ng "Japs."

The reason why Japan's international abbreviation is JPN and not JAP is primarily because of this. JAP is the same as '***' when referring to blacks. Actually, the more politically correct term now is African-American.

Also, sa international sign language, ang sign for Japan ay parang singkit ang mata. Apparently, this is considered offensive to them, so the sign was changed. I think yung parang shape na lang ng country nila.

As societies evolve, so should we ^_^
