Regarding the term "Nips" or "he's a Nip" -- a Japanese friend of mine didn't believe me when I told her that the local morons use that as some sort of racist insult. She figured it was pretty much like trying to insult Canadians by calling us "Cans" or "he's a Can" because that's the start of the name of our country just like Nip is theirs. She wasn't insulted. She thought it was kind of funny that someone could be so dumb to think that would be an insult.
She didn't like Jap though, I know that.
