Glad to see that you have now posted in the Max forum. For the record, I personally enjoyed this thread because it introduced me to the 442nd, I sometimes find tracking down this type of information difficult. But I sympathize with those who took offense at your post. As I stated, I use the term "Jap" myself, but only in the specific context of Japanese soldiers during WWII. I guess I am also a bit insensitive in finding humor in such things as WWII propaganda cartoons with buck teeth Japanese (but then again I liked Hogan's Heroes) the song "I Think I'm Turning Japanese", and laughed out loud when Kimmie Allen pulled the corners of her eyes up to "look Japanese" on her webcam, or at least I interpreted this as an attempt to look Japanese as opposed to Asiatic in general, since Kimmie Allen is part Fillipino. I openly admit to being racist, but not bigoted. I may find the humor in these "skits", but also recognize the underlying prejudice. Dale LaRoy Splitstone
