Maybe not your area since it applies to japan, but why is it racist to call a japanese person a nib, I remember my japanese friend used to go on and on about it, but I never understood what it means?

My white friends used to think it would be funny to call me nib. I had to correct inform them that I'm not japanese, and that they're dumbasses lol. I believe Nib was like a short form of Nippon...which is Japan in japanese (I think, someone correct me). So...I don't know why it's offensive to japanese people (any japanese know this?). I would think being called "jap" would spark that sort of emotion far more than "nib."
