i dont see anything wrong in it......ppl these days use "nigga" in a hip-hop way, while "nigga" is more racist than "jap", its more used in the black american community than white....

and if it is still racist to u...so be it...i dont think a derogatory term will be offending to them compared to the atrocities they commited in china, phillippines and rest of asia in ww2...
