I live in Japan, and my girlfriend is Japanese.
If someone said to me 'Oh, your girlfriend is a Jap', I would be severely p*ssed off.
Sadly, she might not even know why I was so ticked off.
My 2 cents.

Well there we have it from the horses mouth. So we can now all agree that to those whom it directly refers to it is offensive and therefore should not be used and as such can accept the MP's appology for having done so. Further, we can expect the Cons not to be envolved in anything like this again, because they've learnt their lesson, they've appologised and we can all move on......
