Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
Pardon me if this is an offensive subject, but I want your feedback:

Is the popular term "Jap" (or J.A.P.) (for "Jewish American Princess", meaning of course attractive, young, wealthy, secular, sexually liberal Jewish women) offensive to you all? Some of my friends use it (to describe girls meeting these criteria they knew growing up, not as a slur to attack all Jewish women), and I have too with them, not thinking it is anti-Semitic but rather a term for a very specific group, but is this okay?

Thanks,

Chaimfan

RationalThought110:
Most people use Jap as an abbreviation for Japanese. 


I think what you are referring to, as in the people who use that to refer to Jews, are using it as a form of Jew hatred.  Why some Jews associate with people like that who hate Jews is mind-boggling.

I would say no but i'm a guy, what would i know

Dan:
Maybe,It depends on who is saying it and in what context...

Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks:
My friend who uses this term is a Christian Zionist and definitely does NOT mean it as a slur on all Jews, or even the specific women he was describing. He assumes it only means that specific category of Jewish women, and in fact he describes them (from his childhood) with fond memories.

I obviously wouldn't just go around saying this, and neither would he, but do you all think it is wrong to use this term even on a very private basis with people who won't misconstrue your intentions?
