It`s like NOR is short for norwegian for example. Standard abbreviation. 😍 🥰 ---

Maybe in Britain it is, but in other parts of the world it is definitely the a racial slur. > **[Definition of JAP](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Jap)** > > japanese… See the full definition ---

Or to be unbelievably painfully pedantic NOR is short for Norway. Can also be short for Norwegian. 🥰 😍 ---

I was absolutely sure that GladNGrumpy was british until I had been here for my first half a year or so as a registered member. For me it was impossible to observe that he was norwegian until I randomly found it out. That was because he is very good at expressing himself in english. I only found out on a slump that he is norwegian. 😂 😂 ---

Is anyone in here from Japan? Were you offended? Only one person here is making noise, and I bet one of my testicles he/she/it/they/them ain’t from Japan!

I don’t believe anyone here will be rude or nasty, if they wanted to, they would as they are sitting behind their computers. I’ve been here since this forum started, and people have disagreed, but I’ve never seen much of any racial, homophobic or religious attacks like you’d see on IG or FB. The majority of people here have been very respectful in that area, and I don’t believe there was any harm to anyone purposefully. ---

Well, when it comes to racial problems, I think it is stupid, because I only know of 1 race, **HUMAN** , and we are **all** members! the rest is ethnic or regional, and I wont get into that! ---

> [@Edd5512](#): > > Well, when it comes to racial problems, I think it is stupid I get that everyone should be treated equally, but that’s not stupid because it’s a reality, and it won’t change! These are conversations that people should not be afraid to have. I understand we’ve been called the human race, but we are indeed different in a lot of things, just not in culture and skin colour. When we all come together, we learn so well from each other, but greed, gatekeepers, and governments will always continue to cause division. ---

Do we have to eliminate the participant/guest Charly now, because the name was misused in the Vietnam war for the Viet-cong? (Victor **Charlie** ) Whatever, I don’t think that Florencio was using the term Jap in the same discrediting way, that US-soldiers used it in the pacific war, leading to the attack of Pearl Harbour by japanese troups. Nonetheless, I think this is not even close to the topic “Fox”, and although realm Fox is down at current, **imho** the forum shouldn’t be filled with this discussion, maybe there is room elsewhere. **JMO** ---

> [@Florencio231104](#): > > it’s short for Japanese like Brit is short for British “Brit wasn’t originated as a slur. The term Jap was, at least in the West. It has nothing to do with the objective shortening of the words, and everything to do with the origin and use of the word.” “Before the [attack on Pearl Harbor](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor), _Jap_ was not considered primarily offensive. However, following the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the [Japanese declaration of war on the US](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_declaration_of_war_on_the_United_States_and_the_British_Empire), the term began to be used derogatorily, as [anti-Japanese sentiment](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Japanese_sentiment) increased.[[1]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jap#cite_note-Fussell-1) During the war, signs using the epithet, with messages such as “No Japs Allowed”, were hung in some businesses, with service denied to customers of Japanese descent.[[2]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jap#cite_note-jref-2)” It would be the same as substituting the N-word for the term Japs in the above mentioned sign. ---

> [@Kade181727](#): > > Do we have to eliminate the participant/guest Charly now, because the name was misused in the Vietnam war for the Viet-cong? (Victor **Charlie** ) Not exactly accurate. During the Vietnam war, “the communist movement and united front organization in South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia,” were collectively often called the **Viet Cong**. “It was commonly shortened to VC, which in military alphabet code was spoken as Victor Charlie. It was further shortened to just Charlie.” While Victor Charlie was shortened to Charlie, instead of having to say Victor Charlie, (since they couldn’t just say VC over the airwaves) to refer to the Viet Cong, Charlie is just a word in the military alphabet code, not a derogatory slur, like Jap is. The military alphabet code, also known as the standard NATO phonetic alphabet. "Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu. Numbers are pronounced as normal, except often 9 is pronounced “Niner” so it doesn’t get confused with 5." “It is called the “NATO” alphabet because it was standardised by the NATO member countries back in the 1950s to allow accurate exchange of radio messages between air, naval and army f\_\_\_es of all the NATO member nations.” ---
