12897359, for the same reason why "Jap" and "Tranny" are offensive

Or "Nips" in the case of referring to the Japanese people by the Japanese name for Japan itself "Nippon".

How shortened names came to be offensive is beyond me. No different than a Brit calling me a Yank.

When some of them try to say "speak" in English, it comes out as "spic".
