Well in the .U.S it's definitely a racial slur. And this is a health forum.

No..Its not ok to call someone a Japanese person anywhere....And I have a ligitamate medical question and havent had even the smallest response.....I have to print this off the computer cuz I cant hardley beleive it ...Pathetic question ...

Excuse me. I have legitimate question here. This is the general questions sections. Yes this is a health forum, and I know this is not a health related topic.

Just do not post or read it then. Simple. Next, if admin or a moderator does not have a problem with it, then you two should not either. Just do not read it.

Thanks for responding just the same.

Leah11, my question has nothing to do if people respond to your problem or not. It is not my fault at all.

Lastly, it is not a pathetic question. You might think so, but that is your opinion. My opinion, it is not.

I just came across a reference to this in the pregnancy forum and thought, as someone from the .U.K I would respond.

It is absolutely not acceptable to refer to someone as 'a .Japanese person'. That is disrespectful and racist. However, there will always be people who think that it is ok to speak like that but as a general rule it is no longer acceptable language.

Thank you for a good reply.

I appreciate it very much.
