She didn't like Jap though, I know that.

So she doesn't understand why Nip is offensive but doesn't like "Jap".

Yes.
Would you be offended if someone called you a "Can"? Like I said, that's how she saw it. She'd never even heard the term growing up in Japan so I guess it was hard for her to be offended by something so obviously dumb.
"Jap", though, she knew that and she knew it was meant as a racist insult and therefore would have had a problem with it. [/b][/quote]
Sorry I don't get this at all.
But using your Can-Canada analogy, that seriously sounds exactly like a Jap-Japan argument. I just don't understand how Nip is more like Can than Jap is.
