I turned 54 today. I came to these conclusions in my 30's. However, it is good to see Buchanan coming around to my way of thinking. While we are at it, let's talk about Japan. We see now that we made the mistake of neutering their nationalist spirit instead of just reigning it in. They were an ally in WW 1. We broke the spirit of the only bulwark against Moa's reds. The atrocities of the Chicoms dwarfed those of the Japs. Wait...did you just call the Japanese “Japs� Surely you do not think it appropriate for anyone, especially a Christian to use such an offensive, ethnic slur today, do you? Nips?Sorry Ron. I don't consider it as such. We will just have to disagree. Shall we apologize or censure every WW 2 newsreel that uses the term? It is simply short for Japanese. Why do so many white Americans now leap at the opportunity to correct others over supposed racial insensitivity? I think it is a mental disorder, personally. Some sort of collective guilt brainwashing that I am proudly immuned to. It’s still an ethnic slur. No matter what you consider. Please stop with the white guilt rationalization it just makes look worse. White guilt is an epidemic mental disorder plaguing even the church. When did using an abbreviated version of Japanese become a slur? This is the first I've heard of this. In retrospect, I am much more concerned about the two atomic bombs we dropped on a bunch of Japanese civilians.The words Injun and Cajun must be racial slurs, by your standard
