I guess I'll weigh in. I go to a school with 40% of its population as foreign students. Maybe a third of the foreign students are Japanese. I hear them make comments all the time such as "crazy Japs" or whatever. They aren't offended in the least when other people use that word. Now obviously "yellow Japs" or "filthy Japs" or whatever is offensive, but I've never seen any of them get offended by the word itself, it's all in context. It's not the same as saying "nigger," "mick," or "kike." Not by a long shot.
