My Nipponese friend has kindly asked for me to ask this Forum
to stop referring to his people/coutry/etc as Japan/Japanese
or he will go back to calling Australia/Australians
as Poofters!

You alright there mate?

What else does he want us to call them ?

Having just dealt recently with an abominable Japanese person, with many faces person, I could come up with many names

Nippon and Nipponese are Japanese, we speak English in the country, as least some of us do anyhow...so it's Japan and Japanese

I suppose it all depends on how one looks at it. It's only an abbreviation. We don't find it offensive to be called aussies. Maybe we should also be offended

It is the intention behind the words that makes the difference.

Calling them "nips" was always meant as a disparaging term to belittle and offend.

The term "aussie" has never been used that way.
